decree of destruction.     (F. & D. no. 37849.    Sample no. 70022-B.)
This case involved cream that was in various stages of decomposition.
On or about June 26, 1936, the United States attorney for the Western 
District of Virginia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed 
in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of five 10-gallon 
cans of cream at Bristol, Va., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about June 16, 1936, by J. T. Bible from White 
Pine, Tenn., 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 filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On July 2, 1936, the Southern Maid Dairy Products Corporation, the con- 
signee, having consented to destruction of the product, judgment was entered 
ordering that it be destroyed.
HARRY L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
