decree of condemnation and forfeiture.     Product  released under 
bond.     (F. & D. No. 20071.    I. S. No. 14613-v.     S. No. W-1707.)
On April 30, 1925, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado, 
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 con-
denination of 215 boxes of oranges, remaining in the original unbroken pack* 
ages at Denver, Colo., consigned by the Glen Rosa Orchards, Riverside, Calif.' 
alleging that the article had been shipped from Riverside, Calif., on or about 
April 17, 1925, and transported from the State of California into the State 
of Colorado, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act. 
The article was labeled in part: (Box) " Vaccaro Brand Grown & Packed By 
Joseph Vaccaro Riverside, California." 
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a decomposed vegetable substance, to wit, of 
decomposed oranges.
On May 7, 1925, the Earl Fruit Co., claimant, having admitted the allega- 
tions of the libel and having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of 
condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
that the product be released to the said claimant upon payment of the costs 
of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum of $1,000, con- 
ditioned in part that it not be sold or otherwise disposed of contrary to law.
R. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
