Shearer of the Cheerylanes Co. at Lewiston, Idaho, has urged the In Jand Fertilizer Co. of Sait Lake City, Utah, to assist in investigating the matter. Shearer’s letter says: “There is no longer any doubt in my mind that Jap gardeners in California are re- sponsible for much bad health in this country. It is my desire to find out, if possibie just what kind of fertilization they use tn the produc. tion of head lettuce and to what ex- tent Japanese chemical plants in America furnish the fertilizers. “I know that a large part of the products of Jap gardens {Is sold in the market at a price far below the cost of getting it to the consuming cen- ters. It has been charged again and again that the Japanese government pays the loss.
