On or about November 23, 1937, the United States attorney for the Eastern 
District of Virginia, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 299 bags and 
29 sacks of flour at Norfolk, Va., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about June 12 and October 6, 1936, by Fisher 
Flouring Mills Co. from Seattle, Wash., and charging adulteration in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Fisher Boy 
Self-Rising Flour Manufactured for Kent Milling Co. Kent, Wash."; and 
"Fisher's Whole Wheat Flour Blend Extra Fine * * * Fisher Flouring 
Mills Company Portland Tacoma Seattle."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or 
in part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On January 7, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemna- 
tion were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
