Palp.     Default   order   of  destruction   entered.     (P.  &  D.  No.  19895. 
I. S. Nos. 14790-v, 14791-v.    S. No. C-4680.) 
;
On March 13, 1925, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District 
Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure and 
condemnation of 290 dozen cans of tomato pulp, at Fairmont, Minn., alleging 
that the article had been shipped by the Cates Canning Co., from Cates, Ind., 
January 16, 1925, and transported from the State of Indiana into the State 
of Minnesota, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs 
act.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it con- 
sisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid vegetable sub- 
stance.
On October 12, 1925, no claimant having appeared for the property, an order 
of the court was entered, providing for the destruction of the product by the 
United States marshal.
R. W. DTJNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
