tion and destruction.     (F. & D. Nos.  45531, 45532.    Sample Nos. 62732-D,

This product had been shipped in interstate commerce and remained unsold 
and in the original unbroken package. At the time of examination it was found 
to be insect-infested.
' On or about June 28, 1939, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 159 bags of flour at Harlingen, 
Tex.; alleging that the article had been shipped within the period from on or 
about March 31,1939, to on or about May 25,1939, from Enid, Okla., by the Pills- 
bury Flour Mills; and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs 
Act. The article was labeled in part: "Pillsbury's Best XXX" or "Extra High 
Patent Family Circle Flour."
Adulteration was alleged in that the article consisted wholly or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance.
On August 1, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
