13202. Adulteration of canned blueberries.    V. S. v.  18 Cases of Blueber 
ries.    Default   deeree   of   condemnation,   forfeiture,   and   destruc- 
tion.     (F. & D. No. 18529.    I. S. No. 15419-v.    S. No. &-4793.)
On April 2, 1924, the United States attorney for the District of New Hamp- 
shire, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis- 
trict Court of the United States for said district a libel praying the seizure 
and condemnation of 18 cases of blueberries, at Nashua, N. H., consigned from 
Cherryfield, Me., alleging that the article had been shipped by A. L. Stewart 
& Son, on or about August 30, 1923, and charging adulteration in violation of 
the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: (Can) "Stewart's 
Brand Blueberries * * * Packed by A. L. Stewart & Sons, Cherryfield, 
Maine."
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it 
consisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid vegetable 
substance.
On January 2, 1925, no claimant having appeared for the property, judg- 
ment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the 
court that the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
R. W. DTJNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
