decree of condemnation  and destruction.     (F. & D. No. 40865.    Sample

This product was insect-infested, moldy, and decomposed.
On November 18, 1937, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Washington, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in 
the district court a libel praying seizure and condemnation of 104 boxes of 
prunes at Walla Walla, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about May 28, 1937, by Allen Fruit Co., from Port- 
land, Oreg., 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 insect-infested, moldy, and decomposed prunes.
On December 16, 1937, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condem- 
nation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
HABBT L. BROWN, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
