Xe SIUMPHR.B STAR, WASHINGTO State to Enforce Ban on Bogus Hams Marked ‘Smithfield’ Special Dispatch to The Star. RICHMOND, Va., October 12.— —The actual number of Smith- fleld hams will not be reduced, but the number of “Smithfield” hams is expected to shrink. Under the assessments made of property in that county, not more than 12,000 hams should come out of Smithfleld, the name of the town by which the hams have be- come known. Ten times that num- ber are sold annually. Agents of the food division of the State have been making inquiry and , they have found that many so-called Smithfield hams have found their way. to the market and have been sold at Sodithfield ham prices that have not been within 50 miles of the place famed for their curing and packing. Norfolk and Richmoond shops have been found selling the imita- tion hams, and the order has gone out that such impositions shall cease at once. The law covers the subject thor- oughly and includes hams, sides, shoulders and fowls of animals that are fattened on peanuts and which are cured, treated, marked and processed in the town of Smith- field by a process that is carefully guarded by the dealers. .
