INFORMATION FILED: On or about August 24, 1951, Western District of Mis- 
souri, against Charles Miller, trading as Charles Miller Produce, Joplin, Mo.
INTERSTATE SHIPMENT: On or about October 10, 1950, the defendant shipped 
from the State of Louisiana, to Joplin, Mo., a number of unlabeled cans of 
sorghum sirup.
ALLEGED VIOLATION : Between October 10 and November 6,1950, while the sirup 
was being held for sale after shipment in interstate commerce, the defendant 
caused to be affixed to a number of the cans a label which bore, among other 
things, the following printed and graphic matter: "Sorghum Made From 
Pure Cane Juice."
On or about November 6, 1950, the defendant sold and delivered a number 
of cans of the sirup labeled as heretofore described. It was charged that the 
defendant's act of labeling the cans of sirup resulted in the sirup in the labeled 
cans being misbranded.
NATURE OF CHARGE: Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the label statement "Sor- 
ghum Made From Pure Cane Juice" was false and misleading since the state- 
ment represented and suggested that the article was sorghum, whereas, the 
article was not sorghum but was a sirup containing glucose.
DISPOSITION: December 3, 1951. A plea of guilty having been entered, the 
court imposed a fine of $250 and placed the defendant on probation for 1 year.
