(and 1 similar seizure action). Consent decrees of condemnation. 
Product released under bond to be denatured. (F. & D. Nos. 44457, 
44458.    Sample Nos. 38472-D to 38475-D, inclusive.)
This product, which had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained 
unsold and in the original packages at the time of examination, was found to 
be insect-infested.
On September 3, 1938, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Arkansas, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 765 sacks of flour 
at Little Rock, Ark.; alleging that the article had been shipped in part on or about 
April 16, 1938, and in part on or about June 28, 1938, by Wolff Milling Co. from 
New Haven, Mo.; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act. The article was labeled in part: "Upper Ten Extra High Patent Flour," 
and "Wolff's Four Thought Flour."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On October 3, 1938, H. K. Cochran Co., Little Rock, Ark., claimant, having 
admitted the allegations of the libels, judgments of condemnation were entered 
and the product was ordered released under bond to be denatured under the 
supervision of this Department, for the purpose of preventing its being used for 
human consumption.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
