On April 1, 1929, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Mississippi, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district an information against 
J. H. McCarty, trading as J. H. McCarty Produce Co., Tupelo, Miss., alleging 
shipment by said defendant, in violation of the food and drugs act, in two con- 
signments, on or about July 20, 1928, and July 23, 1928, respectively, from the 
State of Mississippi into the State of Alabama, of quantities of shell eggs which 
were adulterated. The article was labeled in part: " From J. H. McCarty 
Produce Co."
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that 
it consisted in whole and in part of a filthy and decomposed and putrid animal 
substance.
On April 1, 1929, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information, 
and the court imposed a fine of $10 and costs.
