On August 9, 10, and 11, 1938, the United States attorney for the Southern 
District of New York, acting upon reports by the Secretary of Agriculture, 
filed in the district court libels praying seizure and condemnation of 37 crates 
of blueberries at New York, N. Y.; alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce in various shipments on or about August 7, 8, and 9, 
1938, by Kostick Bros, from Beaver Meadows, Pa.; and charging adulteration 
in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.

part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance.
On September 9, 1938, no claimant having appeared, judgments of condemna- 
tion were entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
