Georgia, acting upon a report by the commissioner of agriculture of Georgia,?
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel for?
the seizure and condemnation of 46,902 pounds of unhusked car corn at White,?
Ga., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about March 23, 1918,?
by Hugh Ledford, Tullahoma, Tenn., and transported from the State of?
Tennessee into the State of Georgia, and charging adulteration in violation?
pf the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con??
sisted in part of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On June 10, 1918, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product should be sold at public auction by the United States marshal,?
after having given notice by verbal proclamation at the time of sale that the?
corn was adulterated in that it consisted in part of decomposed vegetable?
matter.
