Historical and Revision Notes
Based on section 1514(b) of title 7, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Agriculture (Feb. 16, 1938, ch. 30, title V, § 514(b), 52 Stat. 76).
Words “upon conviction thereof” were omitted as surplusage since punishment can be imposed only after a conviction.
Minor changes were made in phraseology and translations.
