976. Adulteration of flour.     U. S. v. 65 Bags of Flour.    Default decree of con¬
demnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 2711.    Sample No. 15893-E.)
On or about August 30, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern 
District of Arkansas filed a libel against 65 bags of flour at Newport, Ark., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
May 13, 1940, by the W. W. Pollock Mill & Elevator Co. from Mexico, Mo.; 
and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part 
of a filthy, putrid, and decomposed substance and was otherwise unfit for 
food.   It was labeled in part:  "Belle of Mexico."
On October 22, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
