INFORMATION FILED: September 30, 1946, District of Nebraska, against Lester 
E. Shamblen, trading as the Shamblen Milling Co., Omaha, Nebr.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT : On' or about September 27 and October 6, 1945, from the 
State of Nebraska into the State of Maryland.
LABEL IN PART:    (Tags)  "Pro-Min Egg Mash," or "Pro-Min Growing Mash."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the following statements 
on the labels were false and misleading, since the products each contained a 
smaller amount of protein than declared: (One lot of egg mash) "Guaranteed 
Analysis Protein, Not less than 20.0%," (other lot of egg mash) "18% Egg 
Mash Guaranteed Analysis: Minimum Crude Protein 18%," and (growing 
mash) "Guaranteed Analysis Protein 16.2%." Section 403 (i) (2), the products 
were fabricated from 2 or more ingredients and the labels failed to bear the 
common or usual name of each such ingredient, since one lot of the egg mash 
contained undeclared broken and shriveled grains of wheat, weed seeds, and 
weed seed coats, and the other lot of the egg mash and the growing mash con- 
tained undeclared cocoa shell meal and grain sorghum meal.
DISPOSITION : October 14, 1947. A plea of nolo contendere having been entered 
by the defendant, the court imposed a fine of $25 on each of 3 counts, a total 
fine of $75, plus costs.
