cree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 3231.    Sample No.

On or about October 21,1940, the United States attorney for the Southern Dis- 
trict of Georgia filed a libel against 218 bags of flour at Augusta, Ga., alleging that 
the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about July 30, 1940, by 
the Yukon Mill & Grain Co. from Yukon, Okla.; and charging that it was adulter-
ated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance. The article was 
labeled in part: "Yukon's Queen of the West Self Rising Highest Patent Flour." 
On November 30, 1940, the Yukon Mill & Grain Co. having filed an answer 
admitting that the product was unfit for human consumption because of con- 
tamination with insects but alleging that such contamination was the result of 
natural conditions due to time and weather, and having consented to the entry 
of a decree, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered 
destroyed.
