Between January 15 and March 25, 1941, the United States attorneys for the 
District of New Jersey and the Northern and the Southern Districts of New York 
filed libels against 18 boxes of poultry at Jersey City, N. J., 10 boxes at New 
York, N. Y., and 18 boxes at Syracuse, N. Y., alleging that the article had been 
shipped within the period from on or about November 21 to on or about December 
24, 1940, by Wilson & Co. from Atchison, Kans., Cedar Rapids, Nevada, Oelwein, 
Ottumwa, and Roland, Iowa, and Murf reesboro, Tenn.; and charging that it was 
adulterated in that it was in whole or in part the product of diseased animals. 
It was labeled in part: "Choice Brand Poultry Fowl [or "Roasting Chickens," 
"Frying Chickens," or "Broiling Chickens"] or "Common Brand Poultry Fowl" 
or "Roosters."
On February 4, May 22, June 27, and October 1, 1941, no claimant having ap- 
peared, judgments of condemnation were entered and the product was ordered 
destroyed.
