Plea of guilty.    Fine, $10.     (F. & D. no. 32175.    Sample no. 40363-A.)
This case was based on an interstate shipment of butter that contained less 
than 80 percent of milk fat.
On June 19, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western District .of 
Wisconsin, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against the Genoa Cooperative Creamery Co., a 
corporation, Genoa, Wis., alleging shipment by said company in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act on or about August 30, 1933, from the State of 
Wisconsin into the State of Illinois, of a quantity of butter which was 
adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a product containing less 
than 80 percent by weight of milk fat had been substituted for butter, a 
product which should contain not less than 80 percent of milk fat as prescribed 
by act of Congress of March 4, 1923.
On November 12,1934, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
company, and the court imposed a fine of $10.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
