INFORMATION FILED: April 27, 1950, Southern District of Indiana, against the 
Kentucky Chemical Industries, Inc., trading as Provico Feeds & Concentrates, 
Lawrenceburg, Ind.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT : On or about March 2 and April 29, 1949, from the State of 
Indiana into the State of Kentucky.
LABEL IN PART :    "Big V Brand    16% Protein Dairy Feed    *    *    *    Guaranteed

(%)" and "Big Bargain 24% Dairy Feed * * * Guaranteed Analysis 
Protein, not less than 24.00 (%)    Fat, not less than 3.00 (%)."
NATURE OF CHARGE: Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (2), a product containing 
less than 16 percent protein and less than 3.50 percent fat had been substituted 
for the 16 percent protein dairy feed, and a product containing less than 24 
percent protein and less than 3 percent fat had been substituted for the 24 
percent dairy feed.
Misbranding, Section 403   (a), the label statements "16% Protein Dairy
Feed    *    *    *    Guaranteed Analysis   Protein, not less than 16.00 (%)
Fat, not less than 3.50 (%)" and "24% Dairy Feed   *    *    *   Guaranteed
Analysis   Protein, not less than 24.00 ('%) Fat, not less than 3.00
(%)" were false and misleading since the products contained less protein and 
less fat than the labeled amounts.

court fined the defendant $200.
