16 OO. Adulteration of cull poultry. 17. S. v. 1 Barrel of Cull Foultry. Default decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction. (F. & D. No. 24270. I. S. No. 028680. S. No. 2516.) On November 22, 1929, 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 1 barrel of cull poultry, remaining in the original unbroken packages at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped by Vilas & Co., from Storm Lake, Iowa, November 5, 1929, and trans- ported from the State of Iowa 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 con- sisted in whole or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid animal substance, in that it consisted in whole or in part of a portion of an animal unfit for food, and in that it was the product of a diseased animal. On December 12, 1929, 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. ABTHUB M. HYDE, Secretary of Agriculture.
