13398. Adultei-ation of oranges. tJ. S. v. 43 Boxes of Oranges. Consent fle- cree of condemnation, forfeitui'e, and destruction. (F. & D. No. 19840. I. S. Nos. 21122-v, 21123-v. S. No. W-1680.) On March 3, 1925, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure and condemna- tion of 43 boxes of oranges, remaining in the original unbroken packages at Astoria, Oreg., alleging that the article had been shipped by the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, from Wilmington, Calif., on or about February 24, 1925, and transported from the State of California into the State of Oregon, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: "Pine Tree Brand Fancy Highland Orange Association, Highland, Calif." Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that a substance, an inedible product, had been substituted wholly or in part for normal oranges of good commercial quality. On or about March 13, 1925, the Ryan Fruit Co., Astoria, Oreg., having entered an appearance and having consented to the entry of a decree, judg- ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal. C. F. MABVIN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
