Default decree of destruction.    (F. & D. no. 32646.    Sample no. 69041-A.)
A sample of butter taken from the shipment involved in this case was 
found to contain filth.
On March 24, 1934, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Missouri, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 30 pounds of 
packing-stock butter at Kansas City, Mo., alleging that the article had. been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 10, 1934, by H. C. Dryden, 
from Harper, Kans., 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 filthy, decomposed, and putrid animal substance.
On May 7, 1934, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment 
was entered finding the product adulterated and ordering that it be destroyed 
by the United States marshal.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
