in the district court an information against the Farwest Fisheries, Inc., a 
corporation, Seattle, Wash., alleging shipment by said company, under the name 
of the Oceanic Sales Co., in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or about 
July 30, 1930, from the State of Washington into the State of Illinois, of a 
quantity of canned salmon that was adulterated. The article was labeled in 
part: " Canned Salmon Year Round Seafood."
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that 
it consisted in whole and in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal 
substance.

of the defendant company, and the court imposed a fine of $25.
