Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against the Quong Sun Co., Inc., New Orleans, La., 
alleging that on or about January 21, 1937, the defendant delivered to a com- 
mon carrier at New Orleans, La., for shipment to the Republic of Panama, 
quantities of canned shrimp which was adulterated in violation of the Food
