acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
an information against the Western Oregon Packing Corporation, Corvallis, 
Oreg., charging shipment by said defendant in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act on or about October 6, 1936, from the State of Oregon into the State of 
Washington of a quantity of canned prunes that were adulterated.   The article
was labeled in part: "Falls Brand Italian Prunes Packed For Roundup Grocery

the court imposed a fine of $25.
