This product having been shipped in interstate commerce and remaining 
unsold and in the original packages, was at the time of examination found to 
be insect-infested.
On August 31, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Alabama, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 88 bags of flour at 
Mobile, Ala.; alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce 
on or about July 5, 1938, by Willis Norton Co. from Wichita, Kans.; and charg- 
ing adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was 
labeled in part: "Buffalo Flour Bleached."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted wholly or in 
part of a filthy vegetable substance.
On September 8, 1938, Ziliak & Shafer Milling Co., Inc., Mobile, Ala., claim- 
ant, having admitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered released under bond conditioned 
that it be disposed of for use as animal feed, or for some purpose other than 
human consumption.
