On December 8, 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 five cans of cream 
at Springfield, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce, on or about November 28 and 29, 1934, by Harrison Creamery Co., 
Harrison, Ark., and Hammond Produce Co., Fayetteville, Ark., and charging 
adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it was moldy, rancid, putrid, 
filthy, and decomposed.
On December 8, 1934, the product being spoiled and unfit for human con- 
sumption, and the consignee the Patton Creamery Co., Springfield, Mo., having 
consented to its destruction, judgment was entered ordering that it be destroyed.
