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 8 cases of blueberries, at Manchester, N. H., alleging 
that the article had been shipped by A. & R. Loggie Co., from Columbia Falls, 
Me., on or about September 15, 1923, and transported from the State of Maine 
into the State of New Hampshire, and charging adulteration in violation of 
the food and drugs act. The article was labeled in part: (Can) "Eagle 
Brand Blueberries * * * Packed At Columbia Falls By A. & R. Loggie 
Co. Limited Of Loggieville, N. B. Canada."
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, judgment 
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court 
rhat the product be destroyed by the United States marshal.
R. W. DUNLAP, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
