| On or about  July 18,  1927,  the United  States attorney for the Western
District of Washington, 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 8 cubes of butter, remaining in the original 
unbroken pack-tges at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped 
by the Farmers Creamery Co., Livingston, Mont., June 29. 1927, and transported 
from the State of Montana into the State of Washington, and charging adultera- 
tion in violation of the food and drugs act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated, in that it was 
deficient in milk fat content.
On July 27, 1927, the Farmers Creamery Co., Livingston, Mont., 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 $225. conditioned in part that it be reconditioned under the supervision 
of this department to conform with the law.
W. M. JARDINB, Secretary of Agriculture.
