FRESH VEGETABLES NOT
IMPERILED BY DISEASE
OLYMPIA, May 20—There is no
reason to be afraid to use fresh fruits
and vegetables even though they have
been grown in California, E. L. French
state director, points out.
Reports that many housewives of
the state are refusing to use Califor
nia products because they are afraid
they might be carriers of the foot
and mouth disease, have been reaching
Mr. French from many parts of the
state.
“No raw fruits or vegetables are j
permitted entrance into the state from j
infected areas in California,” Mr. I
French said. “They must be fumigated
and inspected before they may come
in from any part of California, and |
we are certain that after they have
passed through the process of fumiga-1
tion, they are most certainly safe. If j
they weren’t we couldn’t let them come j
