This case involved a carload of oranges that were found to be in part de- 
composed.
On January 19,1935, the United States attorney for the District of Minnesota, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of one car containing 37,600 pounds 
of oranges at Minneapolis, Minn., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about December 22, 1934, by C. H. Taylor & Co., 
from Wauchula, Fla., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act.   .
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or in 
part of a decomposed vegetable substance.
On January 26, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON', Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
