(F. & D. No. 15402.    I. S. No. 9326-t.     S. No. B-3590.)
On September 30, 1921, the United States attorney for the Northern District?
of Georgia, 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 21,170 pounds of baled hay, remaining in the original un??
broken packages at Atlanta, Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped by?
H. T. Hopkins, Alfalfa, Ala., on or about May 1, 1921, and transported from?
the State of Alabama into the State of Georgia, and charging adulteration in?
violation of the Food and Drugs ?Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it?
consisted wholly and [or] in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable?
substance, to wit, musty, moulded, dark, burnt, weak, bleached, and rotten fiber?
vegetable substances and dried-out product.
On November 1, 1921, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg??
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the?
court that the product be sold by the United States marshal as "Adulterated,?
moulded, and damaged hay."
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
