the cherries contained worms.
On March 27 and July 1, 1942, the United States attorneys for the District of 
Wyoming and the District of Idaho filed libels against 43 cartons each containing 
6 No. 10 cans of blackberries at Cheyenne, Wyo., and 50 cases each containing 
6 No. 10 cans of cherries at Lewiston, Idaho, alleging that the articles had been 
shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 5 and May 29,1942, by Pacific 
Fruit & Produce Co. from Seattle, Wash., and Portland, Oreg.; and charging that 
they were adulterated in that they consisted wholly or In part of filthy substances. 
The articles were labeled in part: (Cans) "Nation's Garden.Brand Water Pack 
Blackberries * * * Packed For Fine Foods, Inc. Seattle Minneapolis'*'; or 
"Mountainview Brand Water Pack Red Sour Pitted Cherries * * * Packed 
By Western Oregon Packing Corp.   Corvallis Oregon."

of a decree of condemnation of the blackberries, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and they were ordered destroyed. On August 12,1942, no claimant having
