29562. Adulteration of flour.    U. S. v. 12 Sacks of Flour.    Default decree of con¬
demnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 43572.    Sample No. 38437-D.)
This product having been shipped in interstate commerce and remaining un- 
sold and in the original packages, was at the time of examination found to be 
insect-infested.
On August 30, 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 12 sacks of flour at 
Little Rock, Ark.; alleging that the article had been shipped in part on or 
about June 16 and July 9, 1938, by Burrus Mill & Elevator Co. from Fort 
Worth, Tex.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. 
The article was labeled in part: "T. N. T.   *   *   *   Hard Wheat Flour."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On September 24, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
