1720. Misbranding of whole pressed cottonseed feed.     U. S. v. Washington Cot¬
ton Oil Mill, Inc.    Plea of guilty.    Fine, $25.     (F. D. C. No. 2845.    Sam- 
ple No. 5986-D.)
This product contained a smaller proportion of crude protein and a larger pro- 
portion of crude fiber than those declared.
On October 22, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Louisiana filed an information against the Washington Cotton Oil Mill, Inc.,
Washington, La., alleging shipment on or about February 23, 1940, from the 
State of Louisiana into the State of Texas of a quantity of cottonseed feed that 
was misbranded. The article was labeled in part: (Tag) "Whole Pressed 
Cotton Seed * * * ¦ Manufactured For and Guaranteed by Louis Tobian & 
Co., Dallas, Texas."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements "Crude Protein not less 
than 28 percent * * * Crude Fiber not more than 23 percent," borne on the 
tag attached to the sacks, were false and misleading since it contained not more 
than 25.55 percent of crude protein and not less than 26.52 percent of crude fiber.
On January 28, 1941, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the 
defendant, the court imposed a fine of $25.
