1422. Adulteration of butter.    U. S. v. Grace E. Flittie (Flittie Creamery).   Plea
of guilty.    Defendant placed on probation for 18 months without Im- 
position of any sentence.    (F. D. C. No. 2068.    Sample No. 55178-D.)
! On May 29, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of South Dakota 
filed an information against Grace E. Flittie, trading as Flittie Creamery at 
Washington Springs, S. Dak., alleging shipment within the period from on or 
about January 9 to 16, 1940, from the State of South Dakota into the State of 
Illinois, of a quantity of butter that was adulterated.
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a valuable constituent, milk fat, had 
been in part omitted therefrom; and in that a product which contained less than 
80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter.
On May 7, 1941, a plea of guilty haing been entered, the court placed the de- 
fendant on probation for a period of 18 months without the imposition of any 
sentence.
