Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court an information against the Fairmont Creamery Co., a cor- 
poration having a place of business at Pittsburgh, Pa., alleging shipment by 
said company on or about May 22, 1939, from the State of Pennsylvania into 
the State of New York, of a quantity of butter which was adulterated in vio- 
lation İf the Food and Drugs Act.

On November 28, 1939, a plea of nolo contendere having been entered on 
behalf of the defendant, the court imposed a fine of $100 and costs.
