acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the?
United States for said district an information against the National Oats Co., a corpo??
ration, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, alleging shipment by said defendant Company, on or?
about August 10, 1918, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, as amended, from the?
State of Iowa into the State of Indiana, of a certain consignment, invoiced as ''White?
Hominy Feed," which was misbranded. The sacks containing the article bore no?
statement of the quantity of the contents.
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that it was?
food in package form, and the quantity of the contents thereof was not plainly and?
conspicuously marked on the outside of the package.
On October 7, 1920, the defendant company entered a plea of guilty, and the court?
imposed a fine of $10 and costs.
