10 impossible for manufacturer of
adulterated products 10 dispose OF
their goods after they nave once
been banned in one locality. the de-
partment Of agriculture has followed
up this work by concerted efforts 10
improve food supplies and 20 correct
specific abuses i'm the production
and sale Of particular products.
Fairly illustrative OF the far
reaching results of the department
in this direction. is the cooperation
between federal and state officials in
the sanitary control OF the milk
supply of small cities near state
boundaries. This has brought about
good results In the states Of Illinois.
Iowa Missouri. Kansas. Nebraska
and in some Of the New England
states
Under the present methods Of CO.
operation il is possible for state Of
icials 20 reach effectively offenders
residing in other states Department
inspectors also have pursued a very
effective campaign TO reduce 10 a
minimum the shipment Of eggs and
other poultry products Of doubtful
quality
Mary prosecutions and seizures
recently have been reported in the
joint action Of federal, state and mu-
nicipal authorities against fraudu-
lent traffic in decomposed foods
The channels Of commerce have
been cleared Of hundreds Of tons Of
Tarnurporad copnnd Goods t4rv.t,c1o
some fish and poultry watered oys-
ters, misbranded nostrHms and 9th
er kinds Of misbranded and adulter-
ated foods and drugs.
Food and drug inspectors are par
ticularly active in running down Of
tenders who place on the market
certain drugs in violation OF the law.
Recent discoveries disclosed that
owing to the high prices prevailing
for certain synthetic drugs used ex-
tensively by physicians in the treat
ment of various diseases, the market
was being flooded by cheap imita-
tions which we're sold under the
name and label of genuine medi-
cines. on examination they were
found to contain none Of the ;hera-
peutic properties of the genuine ar
ticles.
Many shipments recently have
been seized and the violators prose-
cuted, under the pure food and
drugs act The traffic has not been
wholly suppressed nor all Of the of
tenders apPrehended. Department
Of agriculture officials believe, how
ever. that methods of cooperation
now being followed will render il
more difficult for dishonest manu-
facteurers 10 operate, and will at the
same time make il easier for the
honest producers and distributors TO
comply with the laws and provisions
relating 20 their products.
