On August 10 and 16, 1943, the United States attorneys for the Northern 
District of West Virginia and the Eastern District of Kentucky filed libels 
against 8 boxes of butter at Newport, Ky., and 212 pounds and 33 pounds of 
butter at Morgantown, W. Va., alleging that the article had been shipped on 
or about July 16 and August 11, 1943, from Cincinnati, Ohio, by the Tri-State 
Butter Co.; and charging that it was adulterated in that it consisted in whole 
or in part of a filthy or decomposed animal substance. A portion of the article 
was labeled in part: (Carton) "Rich Pasture Creamery Butter." The remainder 
was labeled in part: (Carton) "Valley Farms Creamery Butter," or (wrapper) 
"Sunnydale Brand Butter."
On September 2 and 10, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgments of 
condemnation were entered and a portion of the product was ordered to be 
disposed of for war purposes pursuant to the request of the War Production 
Board, and the remainder was ordered sold to a renderer for use as salvage fats.
