29925. Misbranding of  cottonseed  cake.     U.   S.  v. Rule-Jayton  Cotton  Oil Co.
Plea of guilty.    Fine, $75.    (F. & D. No. 42557.    Sample No. 4148-D.)
This product contained less protein than declared on the label.
On September 17, 1938, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, field in the 
district court an information against the Rule-Jayton Cotton Oil Co., a corpora- 
tion, Rule, Tex., alleging shipment by said company in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act on or about February 4, 1938, from the State of Texas into 
the State of Kansas of a quantity of cottonseed cake that was misbranded.
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Crude 
Protein, not less than 43%," borne on the tag, was false and misleading and 
was borne on the said tag so as to deceive and mislead the purchaser since the 
article contained less than 43 percent crude protein.
On October 3, 1938, the defendant having entered a plea of guilty, the court 
imposed a fine of $75.
HAEEY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
