condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 9718.    Sample No. 9047-F.)
This product had been gnawed by rodents, and rodent pellets were found in 
practically all the boxes. Rodent nests were found in several boxes, and one 
box contained 7 mice.
On March 29, 1943, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Texas filed a libel against 36 boxes of poultry at. Fort Worth, Tex., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about March 17, 
1943, by Wilson & Co., from Wichita, Kans.; and charging that it was adulterated 
in that it consisted wholly or in part of a filthy substance. The article was 
labeled in part: "Wilson's Certified Poultry," or "Majestic Brand Poultry."
On June 12, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the prpduet was ordered destroyed.
