On August 31, 1935, the United States attorney for the Southern District 
of New York, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 94 crates of 
blueberries at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about August 30, 1935, by M. S. Cunningham, from 
Columbia Falls, Maine, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it consisted in whole 
or in part of a filthy, decomposed, or putrid vegetable substance.
On September 25, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of con- 
demnation was entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
