On July 12, 1921, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district an information against 
Elmer G. Porter, Caywood, N. Y., alleging shipment by said defendant, in vio- 
lation of the food and drugs act as amended, on or about November 4, 1920, 
from the State of New York into the State of Pennsylvania, of a quantity of 
grapes in baskets which were misbranded.
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 was not 
plainly and conspicuously marked on the outside of the package in terms of 
weight, measure, or numerical count.
On May 8, 1923, the defendant entered a plea of nolo contendere to the 
information, and the court imposed a fine of $25.
R. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
