On or about October 13 and 14,1941, the United States attorneys for the Western 
and the Eastern Districts of Missouri filed libels against 17 98-pound bags of flour 
at Springfield, and 68 24-pound bags and 30 48-pound bags of flour at Winona, 
Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce within 
the period from on or about January 21 to on or about August 12,1941, by Wichita 
Flour Mills Co. from Wichita, Kans.; and charging that it was adulterated in 
that it consisted in whole or in part of a filthy substance. The article was labeled 
in part: "Bleached Flour Sunny Kansas," or "Kansas Expansion Flour Bleached."
On February 27, 1942, the claimant for the flour seized at Springfield having 
admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and 
the product was ordered released under bond to be denatured into animal feed. 
On April 16, 1942, no claimant having appeared for the flour seized at Winona, 
judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
