U.   S.  v.   66  Cases  of   Canned Turnip  Greens and 59  Cases of Canned

(F. & D. nos. 35842, 35843.    Sample nos. 10289-B, 10290-B.)
This case involved canned turnip and mustard greens which were found to be 
infested with worms and insects.
On August 7, 1935, the United States attorney for the Northern District of , 
Texas, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district 
court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 66 cases of canned turnip 
greens and 59 cases of canned mustard greens at Abilene, Tex., alleging that the 
articles had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about June 7, 1935, by 
the Greathouse Canning Co., from Fayetteville, Ark., and charging adulteration 
and violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The articles were labeled in part: 
"Mayfair Turnip [or "Mustard"] Greens * * * packed for Central Can- 
ners, Inc., Fayetteville, Ark."
The articles were alleged to be adulterated in that they consisted in whole 
or in part of filthy vegetable substances.
On November 13, 1935, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and it was ordered that the products be destroyed.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
