The Department of Agriculture Loses
in an Attempt to Have Bleached''

mated in the district court OF western
Missouri. The government sought 10
condemn 62j sacks of flour bleached

the so-called ''Alsop process. The
government claimed that in hleac hing
the flour to give il a color TO hide its
inferiority certain nitrates or poison
Gus ingredients were added. and that
they violated the law, no matter what
the quantity The district court 81
held and the jury condemned the flour
