31073. Adulteration of cream.    IT. S. v. "Vane S. Day  (Barry County Produce).
Plea  of  nolo  contendere.     Fine,  $25   and  costs.      (F.  & D.  No.   42738. 
Sample Nos. 15541-D, 15545-D.)
This case involved cream which contained added mineral oil.
On August 3, 1939, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court an information against Vane S. Day, trading as the Barry County 
Produce at Cassville, Mo., alleging shipment by said defendant on or about 
July 18 and 29, 1938, from the State of Missouri into the State of Oklahoma, 
of quantities of cream which was adulterated.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that a substance, namely, mineral 
oil, had been mixed and packed with it so as to reduce or lower or injuriously 
affect its quality or strength; and in that mineral oil had been substituted in 
part for cream, which it purported to be.
;
On February 26, 1940, the defendant entered a plea of nolo contendere, and 
the court imposed a fine of $25 with costs of the proceedings.
GROVER B. HILL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
