17681. Adulteration of blueberries.     V. S. v. 8 Crates of Blueberries.     De 
fault decree of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F. &
D. No. 25063.    I. S. No. 2508.    S. No. 3350.)
Samples of blueberries from the herein described interstate shipment having 
been found to contain worms, the Secretary of Agriculture reported the matter 
to the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York.
On August 20,1930, the said United States attorney filed in the District Court 
of the United States for the district aforesaid a libel praying seizure and con- 
demnation of 8 crates of blueberries, remaining in the original unbroken pack- 
ages at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped by George 
A. Greenrose, West Rockport, Me., on or about August 18, 1930, and had been 
transported from the State of Maine 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 wholly or partly of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid vegetable substance.
On September 2, 1930, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
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.
