This case involved an interstate shipment of blueberries that were infested 
with maggots.
On August 27, 1936, the United States attorney for the District of Massa- 
chusetts, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the dis- 
trict court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 11 crates of blueberries 
at Boston, Mass., consigned August 25, 1936, alleging that the article was 
shipped in interstate commerce by W. C. Robinson from Harrington, 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 November 16, 1936, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and It was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
