NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 540, FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
MISBRANDING OF  CORN  CHOP.
On or about May 4, 1909, the McEwen Grain Company shipped?
from the State of Missouri into the State of Louisiana a quantity of?
"Corn Chop." Samples from this shipment were procured and?
analyzed by the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of?
Agriculture, and as the findings of the analyst and report made indi??
cated that the product was misbranded within the meaning of the?
Food and Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, the said McEwen Grain Com??
pany and the party from whom samples were procured were afforded?
opportunities for hearings. As it appeared after hearings held that?
the above shipment was made in violation of the act, the Secretary of?
Agriculture reported the facts to the Attorney-General, with a state??
ment of the evidence upon which to base a prosecution.
In due course a criminal information was filed against the said?
McEwen Grain Company in the District Court of the United States?
for the Western District of Missouri, charging the above shipment,?
and alleging that the product was misbranded, in that it was labeled?
"McEwen Grain Company, Kansas City, Mo., Corn Chop. Guar.?
Anal., Fat 3.40, Protein 12.90 per cent., Carbohydrates, 69.20 per?
cent., Crude Fiber 3.05 per cent. (State Guaranty Tag)", when in?
truth and in fact said cattle food contained only 8.25 per cent protein.
On March 30, 1910, the defendant pleaded guilty to the information?
and the court imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs?
Act of June 30, 1906.

Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
