On November 13, 1917, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Illinois, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district an information against the 
Jersey Farm Dairy Co., a corporation, St. Louis, Mo., doing business at Bunker 
Hill, Ill., alleging shipment by said company, in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act, on or about August 15, 1916, from the State of Illinois into the State of 
Missouri, of a quantity of milk which was adulterated.
Analysis of samples of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this depart- 
ment showed the same to be filthy and decomposed.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason 
that it consisted in whole or, in part of a filthy and decomposed animal sub- 
stance.
On January 7, 1918, the defendant company entered a plea of guilty to the 
information, and the court imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
