This product was found to be decomposed or filthy, or both.
On July 24, 1937, 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 five cans of cream at 
Trinidad, Colo., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate com- 
merce on or about July 21 and July 22, 1937, in various shipments by O. I. 
Mercer, Memphis, Tex.; W. W. Jones, Claude, Tex.; Frank G. Seltz, Bronte, 
Tex.; P H. Lillie, Santa Rosa, N. Mex.; and W. I. Crissman, Springer, N. 
Mex., 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 animal substance.
On July 24, 1937, the consignee having admitted the allegations of the libel 
and having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment was entered ordering 
that the product be destroyed.
M. L. WILSON, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
