On November 10, 1926, the United States attorney for the Southern District?
of Georgia, 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 84 sacks of horse and mule feed, remaining in the original?
unbroken packages at Augusta, Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped?
by the Atlantic Milling Co., on or about September 11, 1926, and that it had?
been transported in interstate commerce from the State of Georgia into the?
State of North Carolina, and had been reshipped on November 6, 1926, to the?
said Atlantic Milling Co., from Winston-Salem, N. C, to Augusta, Ga., and?
charging misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act. The article Avas?
labeled in part: "AMCO Horse and Mule Feed Manufactured by Atlantic?
Milling Company, Augusta, Ga.   Guaranteed Analysis.   Protein 10?."
It was alleged in substance in the libel that the article was misbranded, in?
that the statement " Protein 10?," borne on the label, was false and misleading?
and deceived and misled the purchaser, since it contained less than 10 per cent?
of protein.

as claimant and having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of for??
feiture was entered,  and it was ordered by the court that the product be
