On May 24, 1937, the United States attorney for the Western District of Vir- 
ginia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 125 boxes of raisins at Dan- 
ville, Va. Subsequently an amendment to the libel was filed. It was alleged 
in the libel as amended that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about October 23, 1936, by the Sunland Sales Cooperative Associa- 
tion, Fresno, Calif., and that it was adulterated in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Cal Ray Three Crown Muscat 
Layer Raisins, Packed by the El Mar Packing Co., Fresno, Calif."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On September 9, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
