tonseed Meal. Consent-decree of condemnation and forfeiture. 
Product  ordered released  on Tbond.    (F.  & D. No.  510-c.)
On April 30, 1919, the United States attorney for the District of Massachu- 
setts, acting upon a report by the director of the Massachusetts Agricultural 
Experiment Station, Amherst, filed in the District Court of the United States 
for said district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of 600 sacks of cotton- 
seed meal, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Waltham, 
Mass., alleging that the article had been shipped by E. Crosby & Co., Brattle- 
boro, Vt., and transported from the State of Vermont into the State of Massa- 
chusetts, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
contained a substance low in protein which had been substituted wholly or in 
part for the article, and for the further reason that a substance low in protein 
had been mixed and packed therewith so as to reduce and lower and injuriously 
affect its quality and strength.
On June 10, 1919, Lyle & Lyle, Huntsville, Ala., claimants, having consented 
to a degree, and filed a good and sufficient bond in conformity with section 10 
of the act, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was 
ordered by the court that the product be released to said claimant upon the 
payment of the costs of the proceedings and upon labeling the product, " Pro- 
tein 32% Cottonseed Meal with Added Hulls."
