* X Y'
On February 9, 1925, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of North Carolina, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying 
ihe seizure and condemnation of 191 dozen jars of jelly, remaining inthe 
original unbroken packages at Greenville, N. C, consigned by the Shenandoah 
Valley Apple Cider & Vinegar Co., alleging that the article had been shipped 
from Winchester, Va., on or about October 9, 1924, and transported from the 
State of Virginia into the State of North Carolina, and charging adulteration 
and misbranding in violation of the food and drugs act. The article was 
labeled in part, variously: (Jar) "Apple Pie Ridge * * * Apple-Rasp- 
berry Flavor" (or "Apple" or "Apple-Cherry Flavor" or "Apple-Strawberry 
Flavor" or "Apple-Blackberry Flavor") "Jelly Pure Cane Sugar And.Apple 
Pectin.    Shenandoah Valley Cider & Vinegar Co. Winchester, Va."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that a 
substance, pectin and sugar, had been mixed and packed with the said 
article so as to reduce, lower, or injuriously affect its quality and strength, 
and for the further reason that a substance, pectin jelly, had been substituted 
wholly or in part for the said article.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the statements, "Apple Rasp- 
jerry - Flavor Jelly," " Apple Jelly," " Apple-Cherry Flavor Jelly," " Apple- 
Strawberry Flavor Jelly," and "Apple-Blackberry Flavor Jelly," as the case 
night be, borne on the labels, were false and misleading and deceived and 
nisled the purchaser, and for the further reason that the article was an 
mitation of and offered for sale under the distinctive name of another 
irticle.
On April 25, 1925, the Shenandoah Valley Cider & Vinegar Co., Winchester, 
fa., having appeared as claimant for the property and having admitted the 
tllegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, 
ind it was ordered by the court that the product be released to the said 
ilaimant upon payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a 
lond in the sum of $200, in conformity with section 10 of the act.
R. W. DUNXAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
