On December 24, 1920, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the District Court of the United States for said district a libel for the seizure 
and condemnation of 4,993 cases of canned salmon, remaining in the original 
unbroken packages at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped 
by the King Salmon Fisheries Co., from Unakwik, Alaska, August 8, 1920, and 
transported from the Territory of Alaska into the State of Washington, and 
charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed animal substance.
On August 2, 1921, the King Salmon Fisheries Co., Seattle, Wash., claimant, 
having admitted the allegations of the libel and having consented to a decree, 
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by 
the court that the product be released to said claimant upon payment of the 
costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum of $1,500, in 
conformity with section 10 of the act, conditioned in part that the said product 
be used for fertilizer and not for human consumption.
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
