19316. Adulteration of butter.    IT. S. v. .Raymond A. Washatka (Park Falls
Creamery Co.).   Plea of guilty.   Fine, $100.    (F. & D. No. 26581.    I. S. 
No. 036461.)
Samples of butter from the shipment herein described having been found to 
contain less than 80 per cent of milk fat, the standard prescribed by Congress, 
the Secretary of Agriculture reported the matter to the United States attorney 
for the Western District of Wisconsin.
On July 18, 1931, the United States attorney filed in the District Court of 
the United States for the district aforesaid an information against Raymond 
A. Washatka, trading as Park Falls Creamery Co., Park Falls, Wis., alleging 
shipment by said defendant, in violation of the food and drugs act, on or about 
May 16, 1930, from the State of Wisconsin into the State of Illinois, of a quan- 
tity of butter that was adulterated.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason 
that a product which contained less than 80 per cent by weight of milk fat 
had been substituted for a product which should contain not less than 80 per 
cent by weight of milk fat as prescribed by the act of March 4, 1923, which the 
said article purported to be.
On November 11, 1931, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the infor- 
mation, and the court imposed a fine of $100.
ABTHUB M. HYDE, Secretary of Agriculture.
