of g-uttty.    Fine, $200.     (F. & D. no. 37977.    Sample nor 46251-B.)
Samples of these dried peaches were found to be insect-infested, dirty, moldy, 
and decayed.
On August 18, 1936, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against Libby, McNeill & Libby, a corporation 
having places of business at San Francisco and Oakland, Calif., alleging ship- 
ment by said company in violation of the Food and Drugs Act on or about 
December 31, 1935, from the State of California into the State of Ohio of a 
quantity of dried peaches that were adulterated. The article was labeled in 
part: "Portsmouth Extra Choice Cling Peaches Packed for The Gilbert Gro Co 
Portsmouth Ohio."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On February 18,1937, a plea of guilty was entered on behalf of the defendant 
and the court imposed a fine of $200.
W. R. GEEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
