New York filed a libel against 138 cases, each containing 24 No. 2 cans, of corn 
at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
December 30, 1940, by Minnesota Consolidated Canneries, Inc., Minneapolis, 
Minn., from Waseca, Minn.; and charging that it was misbranded in that the 
term "Fancy" was false and misleading. The article was labeled in part:

Style Crosby Corn"]."
