2642. Misbranding of cottonseed eafce and meal.   TJ. S. v. Armour & Co.    (Forrest
City Cotton Oil Mill, Division of Armour & Co.).   Plea of nolo contendere. 
Fine, $100.    (F. D. C. No. 5567.   Sample No. 25363-E.)
This product contained less protein than the amount declared on the label.
On March 4, 1942, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Arkansas filed an information against Armour & Co., trading as Forrest City 
Cotton Oil Mill, Division of Armour & Co., at Forrest City, Ark., alleging ship- 
ment on or about January 2, 1941, from the State of Arkansas into the State of 
Kansas of a quantity of cottonseed screenings which were misbranded. The 
article was labeled in part: "100 Pounds Net 'Navy' Brand Prime Quality 41.00% 
Protein Cottonseed Cake and Meal Manufactured for and Guaranteed by Louis 
Tobian & Company Dallas Texas."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements "41.00% 
Protein Cottonseed Cake and Meal" and "Crude Protein not less than 41.00%," 
appearing on the tag, were false and misleading since it contained less than 
41 percent of crude protein, namely, not more than 38.81 percent crude protein.
On March 10, 1942, a plea of nolo contendere having been entered on behalf of 
the defendant, the court imposed a fine of $100.
