On July 27, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Nebraska, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
an information against the Farmers Union Cooperative Creamery Co., Inc., of 
Superior, Nebr., alleging shipment by said company in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act on or about July 29, September 19, and September 27, 1938, from the 
State of Nebraska into the State of Illinois of quantities of butter which was 
adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a substance containing less 
than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter, a product 
which should contain not less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat as pre- 
scribed by the act of March 4, 1923.
On September 23, 1939, a plea of guilty was entered and the court assessed a 
fine of $50 and costs.
