No. 446-D.)
This product was worm-infested.
On February 2, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 39 boxes of dried 
peaches at Fort George Wright, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about December 16, 1937, by Jacobson Shealy from 
San Francisco, Calif., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "California Peaches Jacobson 
Shealy   San Francisco Cal."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy 
vegetable substance.
On March 5, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
and forfeiture, with order of destruction, was entered.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
