17730. Adulteration of loganberry screenings.     V. S. v. 53 Boxes of Logan 
berry   Screenlngrs.     Default   decree   of   condemnation,   forfeiture, 
and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 25142.    I. S. No. 7153.    S. No. 3405.)
Examination of a dried fruit product known as loganberry screenings from 
the herein described interstate shipment having been shown that it contained 
worms, trash, mold, yeast spores, and bore visible evidence of infestation, the 
Secretary of Agriculture reported the matter to the United States attorney 
for the Southern District of Ohio.
On September 16, 1930, the said United States attorney filed in the District 
Court of the United States for the district aforesaid a libel praying seizure 
and condemnation of 53 boxes of loganberry screenings, remaining in the 
original unbroken packages at Cincinnati, Ohio, alleging that the article had 
been shipped by the Willamette Valley Prune Association, Salem, Oreg., on or 
about July 1, 1930, and had been transported from the State of Oregon into 
the State of Ohio, 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- 
tained worms, trash, mold, and yeast spores, and bore evidence of infestation.
On October 27, 1930, 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. HYDE, Secretary of Agriculture.
