lizer tags by fertilizer manufac-
turers has been variously COM
mented on. There seems to
have been an impression that the
dealers had motive in wasting
the tags, which is perhaps not
warranted by the facts and the
circumstances. It is preposter-
ous to conclude that the dealers
would want to create false i'm
preston as to amount of ferti-
|1izer sales and ridiculous to pre-
sumo that they would adopt such
la method.
