22260. Adulteration of  evaporated apples.     U.  S.  v. James R. Bever  (The
J. R. Bever Co.). Plea of guilty. Fine, $10. (F. & D. no. 31391. 
Sample no. 6516-A.)
This case involved an interstate shipment of evaporated apples which were 
found to be in part insect-infested, decayed, moldy, or dirty.
On January 30, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Arkansas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court an information against James R. Bever, trading as the J. R. 
Bever Co., Gentry, Ark., alleging shipment by said defendant in violation of 
the Food and Drugs Act, on or about November 17, 1932, from the State of 
Arkansas into the State of Missouri, of a quantity of evaporated apples which 
were adulterated. The article was labeled in part: " Choice Evaporated Apples 
Packed by The J. R. Bever Co., Gentry, Arkansas."
It was alleged in the information that the article was adulterated in that it 
consisted in part of a filthy and decomposed vegetable substance.
On February 20, 1934, the defendant entered a plea of guilty, and the court 
imposed a fine of $10.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
