NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 2453.
(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.)
U. S. v. 10 Carloads of Feed Barley.   Decree of condemnation by consent.
Goods released on bond.
ADULTERATION OF FEED BARLEY.
On January 29, 1913, the United States Attorney for the District 
of Minnesota, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district a 
libel for the seizure and condemnation of 10 carloads of feed barley 
remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages and in posses- 
sion of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad Co. upon its 
tracks at St. Paul, Minn., alleging that the product had been de- 
livered for shipment and transportation in interstate commerce by 
the Brown Grain Co., Minneapolis, Minn., on January 21, 1913, for 
carriage from the State of Minnesota into the State of Virginia for 
export, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act.    The product was invoiced and waybilled as " Feed Barley."
Adulteration of 5 carloads of the product was alleged in the libel 
for the reason that a substance, to wit, weed seeds to the amount of 
10 per cent and wheat screenings to the amount of 10 per cent, had 
been mixed and packed with the article, to wit, feed barley, so as to 
reduce, lower, and injuriously affect its quality; and for the further 
reason that a substance, to wit, weed seeds to the amount of 10 per 
cent and wheat screenings to the amount of 10 per cent, had been 
substituted in part for the article, to wit, feed barley. Adulteration 
of the product in the other 5 cars was alleged for the reason that sub-
96806°—No. 2453—13
stances, to wit, weed seeds to the amount of 10 per cent and buck- 
wheat screenings to the amount of 10 per cent, had been mixed 
and packed with the article, to wit, feed barley, so as to reduce, lower, 
and injuriously affect its quality, and for the further reason that 
substances, to wit, weed seeds to the amount of 10 per cent and 
buckwheat screenings to the amount of 10 per cent, had been substi- 
tuted in part for the article, to wit, feed barley.
On January 31, 1913, the said Brown Grain Co., claimant, having 
entered its appearance and consented to the rendition of a decree, 
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered and it was 
further ordered that the product should be delivered to said claimant 
upon payment of all costs of the proceedings, amounting to $20.99, 
and the execution of bond in the sum of $10,000, in conformity with 
section 10 of the Act.
