On or about July 27, 1928, the United States attorney for the District of 
Idaho, 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 con- 
demnation of 23 cases of fig bars, remaining in the original unbroken packages 
at Boise, Idaho, alleging that the article had been shipped by the Andrews 
Wilmans Biscuit Co., San Francisco, Ca,lif., on or about June 7, 1928, and trans- 
ported from the State of California into the State of Idaho, and charging 
adulteration in violation of the food and drugs act.
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that the said 
fig bars were wormy, filthy, decomposed, and putrid.
On August 21, 1928, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
was entered finding the product subject to condemnation and forfeiture, and it 
was ordered by the court that said product be destroyed by the United States 
marshal.
ABTHTJB M. HYDE;, Secretary of Agriculture.
