.California’s Yellow Peril Governor Asks for Negotiations With Japan

While California harbors no animosity against the Japanese people says Governor William D. Stephens, of California, the State does not wish them to settle within her borders and develop a Japanese population of her midst. In a letter to Secretary ol State Colby, he asks that Immediate negotiations be entered into with the Empire of Japau to .make impossible further ••evasions” of immigration i agreement*. •Twenty years ago our Japanese [ population was nominal'' the letter | said. “Ten years ago the census rearts ot the United States Government ibowed a Japanese population in Callmia of 41.556. A computation and y recently made by the Board of Bitrel of the State of California indl- : that ibis Japanese population B been more than doubled—amount

0 87.279.”

|cvernor Stephens said he feared ft the Initiative measure. If passed. |t tall short oi its |>orj.ose through Japaniwe retaining possessin of jnltural lands through personal

|Stepl-ens held that “the ' *

exhaust every power In their keeping to maintain this State for its own peo-

ple.'

After stating that “the blood fusion of the Occident and the Orient has nowhere ever successfully taken place." Governor Stephens said that "California views with alarm the rapid growth of these people within the last decade population as well as in land control and foresee" in the not distant future the gravest tnen*_« of serious conflict If this devolopement Is not Immediately and effectively checked." The spirit of ejclstlng anti-alien land laws and Immigration agreements has been traded through the employment of legal and other subterfuges to such an extent that the purpose of the measurers have been frustrated. Governor Stephens chhrged. He referred to the suspension of anti-Asiatic legislation in the State during the Peso Conference at the request of Socretaty of State lanslng. but held that decisive action was not necessary now. "The Japanese are not of a servillor docile stock." the letter continued. ••J*roud of their tradition and history, they brook no suggeatton of any doir nant or superior race. And It Is Just because they possess these attributes and feel more keenly the social and race barriers which our people raise against them that they are driven to race Isolation and. 1 fear, ultimately ill reach that race resentment which

These primary roots come out as the plant pokes Its way through the soil, but they seldom last more than a couple of weeks: usually they rot with the seed kernel. Before this takes place, however, the second opermanent system of roots has star*about an Inch below the surface of the ground, in the case of

clay soils.

In other words, no matter how deep you plant the seeds of most plant, the permanent roots are going to come virtually the same depth. The Important point to this fact ts that planting below the level of the permanent root system contributes virtually nothing to the sturdiness of the plant, and only adds to the length of time required for th- seedlings to poke their heads through the soil. Shallow Planting Big Aid Corn offers a spl-ndld opportunity tc study the development of roc.s in i elation to the depth of planting. All other things being equal. If you plant the seeds six inches deep the main roots will not be any deeper than *f you started the seed one inch deep. jBut the seeds planted one inch deep will sprout way ahead of the si\inch deep seed. This means a much earlier crop. | Tl%» disadvantage of deep planting '« that it takes so long tor the seeds to get started. The warmth of the sun does not reach them as it does with shallow planting. This ts particularly true in cold, wet

weather.

Com seed should be planted Just deep enough for th- kernels to receive sufficient moisture to sprout, light, sandy soil this condition may be two or three Inches deep, heavier loamv soil, with average rain fall, one inch planting is correc* Another important consideration 1c the development of roots Is that few plants can compete with weeds. Th'latter must be kept in subjection by leans of cultivation. Otnerwlse the eeds wBl rob the plant roots pf moisture an-i food. Avoid deep culti at ion clo8> to the plants; you are likely to Injire the roots. Stirring thf surface soil Is sufficient, provided li

is done at the right time. Alfalfa Needs Fertility to Start

It Is true that alfalfa will do much better on i>oor soils than most crop.-, and that alfalfa will gradually enrich soils with nitrogen, but a good stand of alfalfa cannot be expectel without some manuring of first season. The young plants require an abundance of tood for their growth, which they must obtain from the soil until they an' big enough to secure it from the air, as in the case of older plants, whose roots are inoculated with nitr-

gen-fixing bacteria.

The lesson to be drawn here is that while alfalfa Is a panacea for lui poverished land. It requires a certain amount of fertility to start the crop. As with alfalfa, soy beans and cowpeas will yield bigger crops if the sol! seed is inoculated. And the crops which follow the Inoculated beans • pees will be much Improved, also. Unless the home garden is of fair size It will not pay to raise sweet com, becaure It requires considerable spare. If, however, the garden con tains 1000 square feet or more, roota should be found fei- this vegetable for sugar com is, without doubt, the m-T highly prized product. The first planting should have bee i made about the first week In may: the seconu planting toward the end of May. The middle of June is right fo: the third showing and the first week In July for the final planting. Sow In rows rather than hills to get th; most ears from a given era. Bu don't sow In single rows, as you ar? likely to have a poor crop, due to imperfect fertlllxatlon—pollination. Pollen Is Carried By Wind* The tassels at the top of the sulks which carries the pollen, must depos't this powdery substance on the silk of the ears to effect fertillzsllon. The wind usually blows this pollen away from Its original stalk *o adjoining alks. Consequently, if the com Is grown in single rows little of the pol len Is likely to reach the silk, hence poor ears. To overcome th's risk sow the com in a number of short rows. Poultry manure is an excellent fertilizer tor com. There Is none better, but be careful to keep the manur* from direct contact with the seed, as the tender root are likely to be burned

by It.

Make the rows about three feet apart: sow the seed about three Inchc, apart: later thin the strongest plants to shout eight inches. When th plants are about a foot high hill them up a little to prevent blowing over In heavy storms. Golden Bantam Is highly reconi mended for the home garden com patch.

which have had the wisdom and fore sight to erect them. Fruit and vegetables have the unfortunate habit of coming into their fullest bearing right when the season Is hottest and the housewife busiest. The added lask of putting up the winter's supply of friuts and vegetables seems often “the last straw" to already overburdened woman. Yet there is much more fruit ripening In the garden than can possibly be used while it Is fresh. So she gets out

her cans.

Help Difficult to Obtain It is almost impossible nowaday: to obtain help In the home: so. especially In those homes where there arsmall children, us much work as pos sible must be sent out to relieve the burdens of the housewife and mother. A community canning kitchen, either of the type to which members bring their products to be canned ct a fixed price j>er can or that in which members work in groups on special with the help of modern largescale equipment, saves garden products which would otherwise waste because the homewives of the locality have not lime or strength to can them It conserves food for those who are unable to conserve for themselves, and relieves the pressure of work in the home at a busy season. Various types of canning kitchens v in use today in different parts of the country. The successful one mus'

proceeds toward paying expenses. Financing the Enterprise Some working capital Is needed :.t the outset for the purchase of adequate equpipment. Expenses for rent, fuel, salaries, raw materials, and miscellaneous items, too, must be me* o- time before returns can be realized from the products canned. It Is therefore necessary to make definite plans for financing the kitchen, baser careful estimate of probable expenses. Community kitchens have been financed In various ways—for ex ample, by school boards, by boards of trade, by business men's association-., by loans from banks or from Individusls, and by membership fee*. Direc* gifts from Individuals or a small group of persons Is, perhaps in the end. the least satisfactory method. The membership fee idea is the best, in the opinion of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture, which Is advo eating community canning kitchens. The selection of a building and its equipment should be considered jointly. for the type of equipment frequently depends upon the sort of building to be used. Since a primary object of the community canning kitchen is to secure 'be best returns for the time, effort, and capital invested, the use of modern labor-saving equipment, thoroughly adequate fo" the kind and volume of work to be done, will prove economical in the

end.
