Cottonseed Cake and Meal. Product ordered released under 
bond to be relabeled. (F. & D. No. 23275. I. S. No. 07505. S. fto.

On February 2,' 1929, the United States attorney <for the District of iMon- 
tana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District 
Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and con- 
demnation of 100 sacks of cottonseed cake and meal, remaining in the original 
unbroken packages at Glendive, Mont., alleging that the article toad 'been 
shipped by the Dallas Oil & Refining Co., Dallas, Tex., on or about December 
13, 1928, and transported from the State of Texas into the State of Montana, 
and charging misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act. The article 
was labeled in part: "Army Brand Prime Cottonseed Cake and Meal 100 Poumls 
Net Guaranteed Analysis Protein Not Less Than 43 Per Cent. Louis Tobian i& 
Co., Dallas, Texas."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was misbranded in that the state- 
ments, above quoted, borne on the label, were false and misleading and deceived 
and mislead the purchaser, since the product contained less than 43 per cent 
of protein as stated on the label.
On June 29, 1929, the Dallas Oil & Refining Co., Dallas, Tex., having appeared 
as claimant for the property and having admitted the allegations of the libel, a
decree was entered ordering that the product be released to the said claimant 
upon the execution of a bond in the sum of $450, conditioned that it be properly 
labeled.
