cree of destruction.     (F. & D. no. 34828.    Sample no. 27313-B.)
On December 4, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western Dis- 
trict of Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of three 
5-gallon cans of cream at Kansas City, Mo., alleging that the article had been 
shipped in interstate commerce, on or about November 24 and 26, 1934, in 
various lots by I. A. Harris, Gatesville, Tex.; H. C. Laxson, Gatesville, Tex.; 
and John Stermolle, Bethel, Kans.; 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 December 5, 1934, the product being spoiled and unfit for human con- 
sumption, and the consignee the Blue Valley Creamery Co., Kansas City, Mo., 
having recommended its immediate destruction, judgment was entered ordering 
that it be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
