The prevention of the si?lo of not. luted or spoiled food entering; nuo interstate commerce received special attention from the Bureau of Chemistry of the United States Department d Agriculture during the past year. Dcompored Food Seized. A number of shipments of decomposed canned goods returned to packers or jobbers for the adjustment claims were seized, evidence having been secured that the consignees hod taken steps to dispose of the seized goods or previous similar consign mcnts for food purposes. This practice of returning goods for the adjustment of claims for spoilage ha:, loc' to certain abuses, which ln.ee bee* taken up with the industry in th hope that through cooperative actio' condition;; may be controlled more e( ft etivcly than in the past. .Slops wcr taken to prevent tl.(. shipment of do composed sardines, commonly call*? "bellv-blown." The canning; of tic composed navy beans lias been suppressed very largely. The interstate shipment of oysters Irom polluted water.; has practically ceased, and the practice of adulterating oysters an' scallops with water lias been clunked i ithe main.
