3022. Adulteration of cottonseed screenings.    XT. S. v. Armour & Co.     (The Pine
Bluff Cotton Oil Mill).    Plea of nolo contendere.    Fine, $25.     (F. D. C.
No. 5569.   Sample No. 25366-E.)
Examination showed that this product contained not over 38.69 percent of 
crude protein. 
' On March 4, 1942, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Arkansas filed an information against Armour & Co., doing business as the Pine 
Bluff Cotton Oil Mill at Pine Bluff, Ark., alleging shipment on or about February 
5, 1941, from the State of Arkansas into the State of Kansas of a quantity of 
the above-named product which was misbranded. It was labeled in part: "100 
Pounds Net 'Navy' Brand Prime Quality 41.00% Protein Cottonseed Cake and 
Meal Manufactured For And' Guaranteed By Louis. Tobian & Company Dallas, 
Texas.   Guaranteed Analysis:  Crude Protein, not less than 41.00%."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statements "41.00% 
Protein Cottonseed Cake and Meal" and "Crude Protein, not less than 41.00%," 
appearing on the tag, were false and misleading since they represented that 
the food contained not less than 41 percent of crude protein; whereas it con- 
tained not more than 38.69 percent of crude protein.
On April 20, 1942, a plea of nolo contendere was entered on behalf of the 
defendant and the court imposed a fine of $25.
