On November 11, 1937, the United States attorney for the District of Maryland, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of five bags of rye chops at Baltimore, 
Md., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or 
about June 11, 1937, by the Pillsbury Flour Mills Co. from Buffalo, N. T., and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was 
labeled in part: "Pure Rye Chops. * * * From Pillsbury Flour Mills Com- 
pany    *    *    *    Minneapolis, Minn."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On December 17, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion, with order of destruction, was entered.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
