CAUTION TO FEED BUYERS

The courts have recently granted
an injunction stopping the State
Dairy and Food Commissioner from
enforcing Section l3 of the Feeding
Stuff Law. passed by the General
Assembly of 1910.
The Injunction was plead for by
the manufacturers of sucrene foods.
and the action of the courts n grant
ing it was based on the principle laid
down by the Supreme Courts Of the
United States. that every product
which is an article of interstate com
merce. and that the right of importa-
ton into a state carried with it the
right of sale
The Virginia law which was thus
nulhfied prohibits the use of certain
low grade aud harmful products as
Ingredients Of stock feeds. Among
these are enumerated rice chaff. pea
nut hulls. weed seeds. elevator chat
and screenings.
The State officials contendsd tha
the term grain screenings" used b.
these manufacturers was a missioner
, and did not in any way conform 4
what is known in Virginia and oths
Southern States as grain screen
ings The word screenings" i
the South means small. imperfeC
. aud broken grains OF wheat.

American Milling Company in 81
