On June 29, 1921, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Oklahoma, 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 the 
Farmers Cooperative Elevator & Supply Co., a corporation, Newkirk, Okla., 
alleging shipment by said company, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on 
or about July 8, 1920, from the State of Oklahoma into the State of Kansas, 
of a quantity of shell eggs which were adulterated.
Examination of three cases of eggs from the consignment by the Bureau of 
Chemistry of this department showed a total of 76, or 7.04 per cent, inedible 
?eggs, consisting of black rots, white rots, moldy eggs, spot rots, blood rings, 
heavy, enlarged embryo, and very badly heated eggs.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason 
that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal 
substance.
On July 5, 1921, a plea of guilty to the information was entered on behalf 
of the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $25 and costs.
