This product having been shipped in interstate commerce and remaining 
unsold and in the original packages, was at the time of examination found to 
be insect-infested.
On August 17, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Arkansas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 131 sacks of flour 
at Little Rock, Ark.; alleging that the article had been shipped by the Mid- 
Kansas Milling Co. from Salina, Kans., in part on or about February 15, 1937, 
and in part on or about May 17, 1937; and charging adulteration in violation 
of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled variously: "Guaranteed 
Lady Luck Full Flavored Flour Superior Flour Co. Distributors Little Rock"; 
"Mid-Kansas Flour Special Patent The Mid-Kansas Milling Co. Clay Center, 
Kans."; "Wondersack Flour Bakers Special Patent * * * The Mid-Kansas 
Milling Co."
Adulteration was alleged in that the article consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On September 26, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.

M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
