On April 3, 1922, the Un'ted States attorney for the District of Nebraska, 
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 462 boxes of oranges, at Omaha, Nebr., alleging that the art:cle had been 
shipped by the Biverside Heights Orange Growers Assoc, Riverside, Calif., on 
or about March 27, 1922, and transported from the State of California into the 
State of Nebraska, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Druss 
Act. The article was labeled in part: " Pepper Leaf Brand W. Navels Biverside 
Heights Orange Growers Ass'n, Riverside, Cal."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con- 
sisted wholly or in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance.
On April 5, 1922, the Fruit Growers Exchange, claimant, having admitted
the allegations of the libel and consented to a decree of condemnation and for- 
feiture, judgment of the court was entered finding the product to be adulter- 
ated and ordering that it be released to the said claimant upon payment of 
the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum of $2,500, 
in conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that the product 
be salvaged, the bad portion to be destroyed, and that the remainder, upon ap- 
proval by a representative of this department, be delivered to the claimant with- 
out conditions.
