and condemnation of 33 bores of dried white figs, remaining in the original 
packages at Albuquerque, N. Mex., alleging that the article had been Shipped 
by Rosenberg Bros. & Co., from Fresno, Calif., during the month of October, 
1926, and had been transported from the State of California into the State 
of New Mexico, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs 
act. The article was labeled in part: "Arabian Brand Choice California White
