actions).    Default decrees of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D.
Nos. 43538 to 43541, inclusive.    Sample Nos. 38428-D to 38431-D, inclusive.)
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 30, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Arkansas, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 513 sacks of flour at 
Little Rock, Ark.; alleging that the article had been shipped between the dates 
of November 20, 1937 and May 2, 1938, inclusive, by the Hays City Flour Mills 
from Hays, Kans.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: "Golden Rod Flour" or "Royal 
Oak Flour."
The article 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, judgments of condemna- 
tion were entered and the product was ordered destroyed. . . ,
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
