On December 18, 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 one can of 
cream at Springfield, Mo., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce, on or about December 6, 1934, by Tom Underhill, from 
Brentwood, 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 18, 1934, the product being spoiled and unfit for human con- 
sumption, and the consignee, Swift & Co., Springfield, Mo., having consented 
to its destruction, judgment was entered ordering that it be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
