decree   of   condemnation.     Product   ordered   released   under   bond   for 
reworking.    (F. D. C. No. 9464.   Sample No, 13546-F.)
On February 1, 1943, the United States attorney for the Western, District of 
Washington filed a libel against 4 boxes, each containing 64 1-pound prints, of 
butter at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate, 
commerce on or about January 27, 1943, by the Cottage Grove Creamery from 
Cottage Grove, Oreg.; and charging that it was misbranded in that the state- 
ment in the labeling "One Pound," was false and misleading since the package 
contained less than that quantity, and in that the label failed to bear an accu- 
rate statement of the quantity of the contents, since the quantity stated was 
incorrect.   The article was labeled in part:  (Print) "Red Rose Brand."
On February 17, 1943, the Walter Ely Co., claimant, having admitted the alle- 
gations of the libel and having consented to the, entry of a decree, judgment 
of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered released under bond 
for reworking under the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration.
