The following leading editorial, under the .heading, Alarming Japanese Multiplication in California,' appeared in the Los Angeles Times of a few day ago: ; . . During the ' last ten years there has been art; increase ; m - the number of children born of Japanese parentagerin California of a little" more than 3000 per cent. During the last four years there has been a decrease in ihe number of children of Caucasian parentage of about 8 per cent. Those who are interested in figuring out. math; ematical progression will find it interesting to compute the number of years that' would elapse were these converging ratios to be main tained until the population of Japanese descent in this State would outnumber and outvote all the rest. IT IS NO FALSE ALARM. At the time when the first anti-Japanese bills were introduced in the State Legislature, a little more han ten years ago, there were but 246 children bom in California of Japanese parents in twelve months. During the last twelve months the number of Japanese births increased to 4920. In one .Northern California connty 176 children were born of Japanese parents and but eighty-six white children. . ' :-:- ... -.V- '. . - v i v - ' ; 'Bringing the comparison closer home, the eounty health records show that during the last month one-third of the children born iri . Los Angeles county outside, the incorporated cities were of Japanese descent. The problem of our increasing colored population sinks into insignificance before the one involving the increase in the number of California!) of Japanese stock. During the last, year the ratio of Japanese to colored births was more than ten to one. r It is instructive, to note that during the ten years prior to the agitation ojf the anti-Japanese land bills the average number of Jap- ...

There may have been a time when an anti-Japanese land bill would have limited Japanese Immigration. But such a Jaw would be impotent now to keep native Japanese from possessing themselves of the choicest agricultural, and horticultural land in California. For there are now more than 30,000 . children in the State of Japanese parentage, native born; they possess all the rights or leasing and ownership held bv white children born here. -. .' 1 It. is not necessary for a Japanese to incorporate some kind of holding company to own or lease land in the State. ' AH that he has - to do is to purchase or lease as the guardian of one of these thousands . oj American-born Japanese children. The Japanese picture brides have done their work too well for any such restrictive legislation to drive the Japanese from the agriculturarand horticultural districts ' of the State. ..' -, ' . v : . . There is no, necessity for this country to exercise itself oyer a rumored or "threatened Japanese invasion. If the campaign was to t be waged on this coast the Japanese would not be, especially formid able antagonists. The birth statistics seem to prove that the danger is not from the Japanese soldiers, but from the picture brides. The fruitfulness of those brides is almost uncanny. A new baby arrives as often and as regularly as the springtime to the Japanese mother in. California. They are a hardy lot. reproducing at a-rate that threatens to become appalling. . . ' A perusal of the birth statistics of the State during recent years proves that intermarriage and intermatmg between Japanese and white populations in California is almost unknown. We have re ceived millions of immigrants from European countries during recent years and assimilated them as fast as they came. -But to assimilate the Japanese immigrants is impossible. Apparently nature never in tended the Caucasian and the Japanese peoples to interbreed.- Most of the Japanese who come to California seek to seeure a start in fruit-growing or 'vegetable-growing. They are frugal farmers and they prefer leasing land and raising their own crops to working, for wages. This condition accounts for the rapid increase m the Japa-. , neso population in the agricultural districts. The Japanese hold tens of thousands of acres of California land under lease, generally ap pearing as guardians for American-born Japanese. They thus become de faeto owners; and it is a matter of indisputable record that they are in possession of much of the best farming land in the Santa Clara. Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys-; . .' f : Here is a Japanese problem of sufficient gravity o merit serious consideration. We. are threatened with an overproduction of Japa- nese children. First come the men, then the picture brides, then the families.

USE STANDARD POULTRY. and -with little extra care and no extra cost can have a pleating uni formity In color. To. the novice in poultry keeping It often appears that thereJa. no real necessity for so many breeds and! varieties as have been standardised ! In America. Further acquaintance with them, however, shows that al though color differences are In most cases made merely to please the eyes of persons having different prefer ences for color, the differences in shape and size which make breed character have beea developed with a, view to adapting each to particu lar uaes or particular conditions. iLeaving out ot consideration the breeds kept as novelties, most of which originated before industrial progress created a large demand for poultry products, all the standard American breeds of fowls have been made and developed on the general principle of -practical quality the foundation of breed character. . In harmony with this principle the common classification ot breeds ac cording to their place In the general scheme of poultry production, di vides, them Into three principal, class es, namely, laying breeds, meat breeds, and general-purpose breeds; that Is, breeds that are not as ready and pcrslste'jt egg producers as the laying breeds, yet combine In one In-1 dividual fowl very good laying ca pacity with very good table quality. The Leghorn, Minorca, Andalu- slan, Ancona, and Caupine are well known breeds of the laying class; the Brahma, Dorklag and Cornish of the meat class; the Plymouth Rock, Wyandotte. Rhode Island. Red and Orpington of the general-purpose class. The breeds mentioned as of the laying class, with the exception of the Minorca, are relatively small, very energetic and lively, mature early and ar easily kept In laying condition. The Mfaorca Is of larcer size and modified somewhat In the other particulars mentioned, yet has more of the character of the laying class than ot any other. In the meat breeds there la not the same uniformity of typo that is found In the laying breeds. The three men tioned are all quite different The Brahma Js most popular because It Is at the same time the largest tfjd the most rugged in constitution. The Dorking excels In quality of meat but fa generally considered somewhat lacking in hardiness. The Cornish is rathc hard-mcated but being very short-feathered has Its special place as a large meat-producing fowl in southerly sections where the more heavily feathered . Brahma does not stand the summers well. Among the popular breeds of the geaeral-purpose class, there are also differences in type, adapting breeds to different uses. The Plymouth Rock is generally regarded as the type meeting the widest range of re quirements In the general-purpose clas TheMVyandotte is a little smaller and earlier maturing but still very well meated and easy to fatten. The Rhode Island Red has nearly the same ttandards of weight as the Wyaadotte but is a more active bird. not putting on fat so readily, conse quently it approaches the laying type and Is popular with those who want eggs and meat, but want eggs most. The Orpington is at the other ex treme in the . general-purpose class, being a heavier, meatier fowl thaa the Plymouth Rock. Such a list of breeds affords so wide a range of choice tha poultry keepers can always select a standard breed better adapted to their locality ana tneir purpose man any non- sianaara siock tney can procure, and having the further advantage, of re producing true to type.
