On May 8, 1925, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
West Virginia, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district libels praying seizure and 
condemnation of 1,940 cases of" canned corn, in part at Charleston, W. Va., and 
in part at Logan, W. Va., alleging that the article had been shipped by the 
London Canning Co., from London, Ohio, in part October 7, 1924, and in part 
October 17, 1924, and transported from the State of Ohio into the S^.te of 
West Virginia, and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation "of the 
food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: (Can) "Oak Run 
Brand" (or "Deer Creek Brand" or "Top Notch Brand") "Sugar 
Corn   *    *    *    Packed By London Canning Company, London, Ohio."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libels for the reason that a 
substance, field corn, had been mixed and packed therewith so as to reduce, 
lower or injuriously affect its quality or strength and had been substituted 
wholly or in part for the said article.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the designation, "Sugar Corn," 
was false and misleading and deceived and misled the purchaser, and in that 
it was offered for sale under the distinctive name of another article.        ~
On August 12, 1925, F. A. Fishbaugh, trading as the London Canning Co., 
London, Ohio, having appeared as claimant for the property, and the product 
having been properly relabeled under the supervision of this department, a 
decree was entered, ordering that the said product be released and delivered 
to the claimant, and that the bond theretofore executed be exonerated.
W. M. JABDINE, Secretary of Agriculture.
