This case involved an interstate shipment of packing stock butter which 
was found to contain filth.
On August 30, 1934, the United States attorney for the District of Minne- 
sota, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 1 barrel and 1 pail of pack- 
ing stock butter at St. Paul, Minn., alleging that the article had been shipped 
in interstate commerce on or about May 28, 1934, by the Fargo Creamery & 
Produce Co., from Fargo, N. Dak., 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, or putrid animal substance.
On January 18, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment was entered 
ordering that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Actinff Secretary of Agriculture.
