On December 8, 1936, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 503 sacks of flour at 
Lufkin, Tex., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about October 21, 1936, by the Eagle Milling Co., from Edmond, Okla., 
and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article 
was variously labeled in part as follows: "Creation Flour * * * American 
Maid Flour Mills, Houston, Texas"; "Sunshine Flour * * * Sunshine Food 
Stores Oklahoma City"; Eagle Mill Omaha Highest Patent Eagle Milling 
Co."; "Mary Sunshine Flour * * * The Mid West Milling Co. Abilene, 
Kansas * * * Extra High Patent Flour"; "Southern Delight Flour * * * 
Texas Star Flour Mills, Galveston, Texas."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in part of a 
filthy vegetable substance and was insect-infested.
On February 10, 193.7, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
