22489. Adulteration of apples.    U. S. v. Clyde H. Harris (Harris Cold Stor¬
age).     Plea   of   guilty.     Fine,   $50.     (F.   &   D.   no.   31515.     Sample   no. 
29448-A.)
This case was based on an interstate shipment of apples that were found 
to bear arsenic and lead in an amount that might have rendered them injurious 
to health.
On May 16, 1934, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon, acting 
upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court an in- 
formation against Clyde H. Harris, trading as Harris Cold Storage, Freewater, 
Oreg., alleging shipment by said defendant, in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act, on or about May 5, 1933, from the State of Oregon into the State of Cali- 
fornia, of a quantity of apples which were adulterated.
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that it 
contained added poisonous and deleterious ingredients, arsenic and lead, which 
might have rendered it injurious to health.
On May 24, 1934, the defendant entered a plea of guilty, and the court im- 
posed a fine of $50.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
