(F. & D. No. 23016.    I. S. No. 03006.    S. No. 1069.)
On August 25, 1928, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary 'of Agriculture, filed in the 
District Court of the United States for said district a libel praying seizure and 
condemnation of 3 barrels of frozen poultry, remaining in the original un- 
broken packages at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been 
shipped by T. Jensen & Sons, from Chanute, Kans., on or about August 3, 1928, 
and had been transported from the State of Kansas into the State of New 
York, and charging adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it consisted 
in part of a decomposed animal substance, in that it consisted in part of a 
portion of an animal unfit for food, and in that it was the product of a diseased 
animal.
On September 12, 1928, 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.
ARTHUR M. HY?B, Secretary of Agriculture.
