On December 4, 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 two cans of cream 
at Kansas City, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce, on or about November 26, 1934, by R. C. Burnham, Hays, Kans., 
and William H. Edwards, Rotan, 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 December 7, 1934, the product being spoiled and unfit for human consump- 
tion, and the consignee, the Spring Valley Butter Co., Kansas City, Mo., 
having recommended its immediate destruction, judgment was entered ordering 
that it be destroyed.
