condemnation and destruction.    (F. & D. No. 43660.   Sample No. 37788-D.)
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 inssct-infested.
On September 6, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Louisiana, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 59 sacks of flour at 
Slidell, La.; alleging that the article had been shipped within the period from 
on or about December 24, 1937, to on or about February 5, 1938, by Whitewater 
Flour Mills Co. from Whitewater, Kans,; and charging adulteration in viola- 
tion of the Food and Drugs Act.   It was labeled in part: "High Score Flour."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On November 9, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
