In the case of lead arsenate: 



First, If it contains more than fifty percentura of water; 



Second, If it contains total arsenic equivalent to less than twelve 

 and one-half percentum arsenic oxide (ASoO-) ; 



Third, If it contains arsenic in water-soluble forms equivalent to 

 more than seventy-five one hundredths percentum of arsenic oxide 



(AsA) ; 



Fourth, If any substances have been mixed and packed with it so 

 as to reduce, lower, or injuriously affect its quality or strength : Pro- 

 vided, however, That extra water may be added to lead arsenate (as 

 described in this paragraph) if the resulting mixture is labeled lead 

 arsenate and water, the percentage of extra water being plainly and 

 correctly stated on the label. 



In the case of insecticides or fungicides, other than Paris green and 

 lead arsenate: 



First, If its strength or purity falls below the professed standard or 

 quality under which it is sold; 



Second, If any substance has been substituted wholly or in part for 

 the article; 



Third, If any valuable constituent of the article has been wholly or 

 in part abstracted; 



Fourth, If it is intended for use on vegetation and shall contain any 

 substance or substances which, although preventing, destroying, repell- 

 ing, or mitigating insects, shall be injurious to such vegetation when 

 used as recommended by the manufacturer. 



Sec. 7. The term ''misbranded" as used herein shall apply to all 

 insecticides, Paris green, lead arsenates, or fungicides or articles which 

 enter into the composition of insecticides or fungicides, the package 

 or label of which shall bear any statement, design, or device regarding 

 such article or the ingredients or substances contained therein whicli 

 shall be false or misleading in any particular, and to all insecticides, 

 Paris green, lead arsenates, or fungicides which are falsely branded as 

 to the state, territory, or country in which they are manufactured. For 

 the purpose of this act an article shall be deemed to be misbranded, in 

 the case of insecticides, 



Paris greens, lead arsenates and fungicides: 



First, If it be an imitation or offered for sale under the name of an- 

 other article; 



Second, If it is labeled or branded so as to deceive or mislead the 

 purchaser, or if the contents of the packages as originally put up shall 

 be removed in whole or in part and other contents shall have been 

 placed in such packages; 



Third, If in package form, and the contents are stated in terms of 

 weight and measure, they are not plainly and correctly stated on the 

 outside of the package; in this connection it is held to be permissible 

 to state the average net weight of the package.
