On September 15, 1937, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 420 bags of flour 
at New Orleans, La., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about August 12, 1937, by Kell Mill & Elevator Co., from 
Wichita Falls, Tex., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Kell Mill & Elevator Co. 
Wichita Falls, Texas   Western Lily Flour."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On October 15, 1937, J. F. Eagan, New Orleans, La., having intervened as 
owner or agent for the owner and having admitted the allegations, judgment 
of condemnation was entered. It was ordered that the property be released to 
the claimant under bond conditioned that the bad portion be separated from the 
good, if any, and the former denatured so that it could not be used for human 
food, but that it might be used as animal feed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
