ifornia filed a libel against 30 boxes, each containing 63 pounds, of butter at 
San Francisco, Calif., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about May 18, 1944, by Casperson Products, Inc., from Hutch- 
inson, Kans.; and charging that it was adulterated in that a product which con- 
tained less than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter.
