4216. Misbranding of cottonseed meal.    U. S. v. Swift & Co.   (Swift & Co. Oil
.Mill.')     Plea  of  guilty.    Fine,  $200.     (F.  D.  C. No.   7303.    Sample No. 
68912-E.)
On August 20, 1942, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Missouri filed an information against Swift & Co., a corporation, trading as 
Swift & Co. Oil Mill, at Portageville, Mo., alleging shipment on or about 
September 19, 1941, from the State of Missouri into the State of Kansas of a 
quantity of cottonseed meal that wag misbranded in that the statement "41.00% 
Protein * * Guaranteed Analysis Minimum Protein 41.00%" * * * 
Maximum Crude Fiber 12.00%" borne on the tag was false and misleading since 
the article contained not more than 37.94% of protein and not less than 13.49% 
of crude fiber. The article was labeled in part: "Prime Quality Dixie Brand 
*   *   *   Cotton Seed Meal."
On October 14, 1942, a plea of guilty having been entered on behalf of the 
defendant, the court imposed a fine of $200.
