guilty.   Fine, SI.   (F. & I). No. 12336.   I. S. Nos. 18783-r, 18785-r.)
On May 24, 1920, the United States attorney for the District of North Dakota, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of 
the United States for said district an information against Hyman Brody, trading as
Farmers Store, Regan, N. D., alleging shipment by said defendant on or about July 
31 and August 4, 1919, from the State of North Dakota into "the State of Minnesota, 
of quantities of eggs which were adulterated.
Examination of a sample from each of the consignments of the article by the Bureau 
of Chemistry of this department showed 30 and 12.7 per cent, respectively, of inedible 
eggs, consisting of mixed or white rots, moldy eggs, and blood rings.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, putrid, and decomposed animal substance.
On December 8, 1920, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information, 
and the court imposed a fine of $1.
