decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. & D. no. 38158.    Sample no. 
9492-C.)
This case involved blueberries that were infested with maggots.
On August 7, 1936, 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 eight crates of blue- 
berries at New York, N. Y., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about August 5, 1936, by Mary Burba, from Mount 
Carmel, Pa., 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 August 22, 1936, no claimant appearing, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and it was ordered that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
