decree of condemnation and  destruction.     (F. & D.  no.  37848.    Sample

This case involved cream that was putrid, maggoty, and moldy. 
On or about June 21, 1936,  the United  States attorney for the Northern 
District of West Virginia, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agricul-
ture, filed in the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 
two 10-gallon cans of cream at Parkersburg, W. Va., alleging that on or about 
June 20, 1936, the article had been delivered for shipment in interstate com- 
merce at Harrisville, W. Va., by the K. & T. Stores, Inc., a substation for the 
Sumner Co. cream station, of Parkersburg, W. Va., and charging adulteration 
in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. It was labeled in part: (Tag) "To 
The Sumner Co., Akron, Ohio."
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole or 
in part of a putrid, maggoty, and moldy animal substance.
On June 22, 1936, the K. & T. Stores, Inc., having consented to the entry 
of a decree, judgment was entered ordering that the product be destroyed.
W. R. GEEGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
