21492. Adulteration of huckleberries.    U.  S. v. 20  Baskets  of Huckleber¬
ries.     Default   decree   of   condemnation,  forfeiture,  and   destruc- 
tion.     (F. & D. no. 31157.    Sample no. 42668-A.)
On September 11, 1933, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of Ohio, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 20 baskets of huckleberries at 
Cincinnati, Ohio, consigned by C. B. & S. D. Mangus, Vesuvius, Va., on or about 
August 21, 1933, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce from Vesuvius, Va., into the State of Ohio, and charging adulteration in 
violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled in part: " C. B. 
and S. D. Mangus, Vesuvius, Va."
It was alleged in the libel that the article was adulterated in that it consisted 
in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance.
On October 17, 1933, 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.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
