On April 21, 1922, the United States attorney for the Western District of?
Oklahoma, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the?
District Court of the United States for said district a libel, and on April 25,?
1922, an amended libel, for the seizure and condemnation of 1,000 cases of?
canned corn, remaining unsold in the original unbroken packages at Oklahoma?
City, Okla., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about March 15,?
1922, by the Dexter-Farmer Canning Co., Van Horn, Iowa, and transported?
from the State of Iowa into the State of Oklahoma, and charging adulteration?
in violation of the Food and Drugs Aci. The article was labeled in part:?
" Ever Ready Corn * * * Packed by Dexter-Farmer Canning Co. Dexter,?
la., Van Home, la."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in substance in the libel for the?
reason that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy and decomposed vege??
table substance.
On May 24, 1922, the Dexter-Farmer Canning Co., claimant, having admitted?
the allegations of the libel and consented to a decree, judgment of condem??
nation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the?
product might be released to said claimant for salvaging under the supervision?
of this department, and that such portion of said product as might be found?
to be adulterated be destroyed, upon payment of all the costs of the pro??
ceeding and the execution of bond in the sum of $2,000, in conformity with?
section 10 of the act.?o. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
