>f Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the 
leizure and condemnation of 80 sacks of cottonseed meal, remaining unsold 
n the original packages at Sunbury, Ohio, consigned January 5, 1925, alleg- 
ng that the article had been shipped by the Dixie Cotton Oil Mill, from Little 
lock, Ark., and transported from the State of Arkansas into the State of 
)hio, and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation of the food 
nd drugs act. The article was labeled in part: "Cottonseed Meal * * * 
>rotein 43.00%."
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that 
he statement, "Protein 43.00%," borne on the labels, was false and mis- 
sading and deceived and misled the purchaser.

)hio, having appeared as claimant for the property and having consented 
o the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was 
ntered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be released to
