14879. Misbranding of cottonseed  cake.     IT.  S. v. 400  Sacks  of Cottonseed
Cake. Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product 
released under bond. (F. & D. No. 21457. I. S. No. 15124-x. S. No. 
W-1890.)
On December 14, 1926, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court 
of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and condemnation 
of 400 sacks of cottonseed cake, remaining in the original unbroken packages 
at Crook, Colo., consigned by the Fort Worth Cotton Oil Mill, North Fort 
Worth, Tex., alleging that the article had been shipped from North Fort 
Worth, Tex., on or about November 30, 1926, and transported from the State 
of Texas into the State of Colorado, and charging misbranding in violation of 
the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: "Cottonseed Cake 
Prime Quality Manufactured by Fort Worth Cotton Oil Mill, North Fort 
Worth, Texas. Guaranteed Analysis: Crude Protein not less than 43.00 Per 
Cent."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded, in that the state- 
ment " Crude Protein not less than 43.00' Per Cent," borne on the label, was 
false and misleading and deceived and misled the purchaser, since the said 
article did not contain 43 per cent of protein.
On December 27, 1926. the Logan & Wells Farms Co., a Colorado corporation, 
claimant, having admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to 
the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, 
and it was ordered by the court that the product be released to the said claimant 
upon payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the 
sum of $1,000, conditioned in part that it not be sold or otherwise disposed of 
contrary to law.
