On November 23, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the 
district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of five cans of cream 
at Kansas City, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce, on or about November 17, 1934, by Steward Meek, West Mineral, 
Kans.; Otto C. Haas, Boerne, Tex.; T. V. Pierce, Jermyn, Tex.; Franklin 
Miller, Larned, Kans.; and R. R. Birdwell, Jourdanton, Tex.; and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it was moldy, rancid, putrid, 
filthy, and decomposed.
On November 24, 1934, the product being spoiled and unfit for human con- 
sumption and the consignee, the Meriden Creamery Co., Kansas City, Mo., 
having consented to its destruction, judgment was entered ordering that it be 
destroyed.
