23040. Adulteration of dried prunes. U. S. v. Rolland C. Jory (Jory Pack- 
ing Co.). Plea of guilty. Fine, $25. (F. & D. no. 32209. Sample nos. 
60319-A, 60323-A.)
This case was based on a shipment of dried prunes which were found to be 
in part decomposed.
On September 4, 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 information against Rolland C. Jory, trading as the Jory Packing Co., 
alleging shipment by said defendant in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, 
on or about November 20, 1933, from the State of Oregon into the State of 
Washington, of a quantity of dried prunes which were adulterated. The article 
was labeled in part: " Jory Packing Co., Salem Ore."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in part of a 
decomposed vegetable substance.
On October 23, 1934, the defendant entered a plea of guilty and the court 
imposed a fine of $25.
