poration.     Submission, to information.     Fine, $10 ami  costs.     (F.  &
D. No. 11806.     I.  g. Nos. 12678-r,  13827-r,  15551-r.)
On July 3, 1920, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of North 
Carolina, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis- 
trict Court of the United States for said district an information against Wood- 
land & Co., a corporation, Morehead City, N. C, alleging shipment by said com- 
pany, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about January 19. 26, and 
29, 1919, from the State of North Carolina into the States of Maryland, Mas- 
sachusetts, and New York, respectively, of quantities of scallops which were 
adulterated.
Examination of samples of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this 
department showed that the product had been soaked with water.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that 
a substance, to wit, Śwater, had been mixed and packed therewith so as to 
lower and reduce and injuriously affect its quality and'strength, and had been 
substituted in part for'scallops, which'the article purported to be.
On October 12, 1920, the defendant company submitted to the information, and 
the court imposed a fine of $10 and costs.'
E. D. BALL, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
