decree of condemnation and  destruction.     (F.  & D.  no.  37252.    Sample 
no.  6070&-B.)
This case involved cream which was found to be filthy and in various stages 
of decomposition.
On January 8, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado, 
acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the district court 
a libel praying seizure and condemnation of two 5-gallon cans of cream at 
Denver, Colo., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about January 5, 1936, by W. Steadman, Throckmorton, Tex., and 
A. C. Hubbard. Olney, Tex., and charging adulteration in violation of the Food 
and Drugs Act.
The article was alleged to be adulterated in that it was cheesy, yeasty, 
moldy, rancid, filthy, putrid, and decomposed.
On January 8, 1936, the Farmers & Merchants Creamery Co., Denver, Colo., 
the consignee, having admitted the allegations of the libel and having con- 
sented to the entry of a decree, judgment was entered ordering that the product 
be destroyed immediately.
W. R. GREGG, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
