cree of condemnation.    Product ordered delivered to a Federal institu- 
tion.    (F. D. C. No. 9703.   Sample No. 12956-F.)
On March 15, 1943, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington filed a libel against 85 1-pound prints of butter at Seattle, Wash., 
which had been consigned by the Meadow Gold Dairy, alleging that the article 
had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 6, 1943, from Boze- 
man, Mont.; and charging that it was adulterated in that a product containing 
less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter. The 
article was labeled in part: "Meadow Gold Butter * * * Distributed by 
Beatrice Creamery Company."
