OF Vital Importance to Farmers,

The agricultural papers of the coun-
try, the Memphis Commercial Ap-
peal, and other infiuent ial journals.
are just now engaged In a campaign
of earnest appeal to the farmers OF
the country to grow winter forage
crops. The Importance and serious
ners OF present conditions cannot be
too strongly urged upon our plant
ers. and all should act.
Go over your feed bills for the 1909
crop, and you. will find that item
was a heavy expense. The corn crop
this year is not sufficiently large to
reduce prices materially; consequent
ly. the gear 1910 will show high pric-
ed grain, an unfortunate condition
for those who are compelled to buy.
During the latter pnrt Of the month
OF October and half of November you
can still do much to reduce your feed
bill for next year. Sow any or all
Of the following crops. and you will
not regret 1t: Turf oats. red oats,
rye, yetch and alfalfa
No sectons Of our country can be
truly prosperous that buys it's food
Tor man and beast, and this is par
ticularly true at present. when the
prices of'all'food products are high.

Reports from Delta District Indicate
Improvement - Deluge Worse
Near San Luis Obispo
and FL Pizmo
tRx Associated Press.l

SAN LUIS OBISPO, Jan. 26.-Three
Harvey houses at Ell Pizmo were car
ried away and swept into the Pacific
ocean today when Price creek over
flowed and swept through the town.
Arroyo Grande is partially under
water and the Santa Maria river has
changed it's course, threatening the
city of Santa Maria.
1t is now coming toward this city.
Messages tonight from each of the
river islands near Antioch, which were
considered in danger, state that con-
ditions are improving.
The levees on Upper Sherman island
have given away in several additional
places, and the water rushes in on the
Sacramento side, only to be forced
across the tract and out into the San
Joaquin river, the south side of the
island being lower than the north.
While potatoes are selling at $1.75 a
sack here. there is almost certain to
be a slump, as many islands containing
thousands of acres are not affected
by the floods, and the owners have
large crops ready to unload on the
market.
Hundreds of acres on each of the
submerged islands were planted to the
potatoes, and there will be a loss Of
thousands of sacks. Last week pota-
toes could have been purchased for SIS
cents a sack, but today merchants here
are paying $1.50 and $1.75 a sack.
Cold and Raining
The weather has remained cold, and
a drizzling rain is falling at intervals.
Telephone messages from up-river
points state that the river is falling
rapidly. 1t is ten inches lower at this
place than yesterday.
Snow fell yesterday and last night in
the foothills near MarysvilIe. There
was rain here in the lower valley sec
t1on,. accompanied by winds from the
SOUTH
AT Sterling City two feet of snow fell
yesterday and it is still showing today
A few flakes fell in Marysville this
morning, but not enough to make a
showing, as it was accompanied by
rain. The weather is colder and the
cold snap will prevent the river from
rising until a warm rain comes.
Supervisor Casey states that the
storm washed out eight wagon bridges
In his district and made the roads i'm
passable. The supervisors now will
replace wooden bridges and culverts
with concrete structures. The season s
rainfall now amounts to 1884 inches
against 629 for the same date last year
The Feather and Yuba rivers con-
tinue to fall slowly. The only loss OF
life in this part of the state occurred
yesterday when John Larue, an en-
ploye of the Western Pacific railroad
While trying to save the company
property above an island bar slipped
into Feather river and was drowned
The body was not recovered.
The Southern Pacific is now running
through trains on the main line accord
ing to schedule. The Northern Elec-
trio is running regular trains north
ward from MarysVille, but the road tC
Sacramento may not be opened fol
three weeks. The work of repairing
the levee and on the Sutter county side
OF the river has begun.

SUPREME COURT GRANTS
RETRIAL IN SUTR0 CASE

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 26.-The su-
preme court of the state has granted
a rehearing in the case originally
brought against the Sutro estates, in
which the lands west of Forty-ninth
avenue on the Ocean boulevard were
awarded to this city.
This decision gave to San Francisco
all the property now occupied by road
houses and other structures on the
upper part Of the great highway. The
matter has been reopened on request
of the Hotaling estate.
The city attorney asserts that he
will push the matter in behalf of the
city and endeavor to secure the eject
ment of parties now occupying these
lands.
Los Angeles herald., 1909-01-27

may never finally become laws, will cause
our federal government some embarrassment
in relation to the agreement 1t now has with
Japan Japan and its own good faith may be ques-
What we want is to have the question of
immigration between these two nations set
tied amicably, but settled right. Both are
earnestly striving to attain that end.
Japan has agreed with our government to
do so in a certain way. At the present time
she is busily engaged in carrying out her
promise. This nation must accept her good
faith until the contrary appears.
IL Japan fails in what she has undertaken
she cannot complain If our government under
takes in it's own way the task.
Friendship Will Continue
By pursuing this course, the friendly reIa-
not be broken and the great commerce now
passing between them viii continue to grow,
and the greatest benefits therefrom will be
realized by the Pacific slope.
The president of the United States and
the secretary of state have issued warning
against passing any bills Of the nature pro-
posed. Representing the nation and knowing
the situation as they do, their warning should
be needed
This matter is one in which our interests
are not alone involved, but one in which the
whole country is interested.
The passage of all or any of the proposed
bills will not prevent a single Japanese from
landing here or cause one to leave the country.
They will in sense check immigration, or
|
his mode of living.
They can only tend to embarrass this nation
In its dealings with Japan, and render future
negotiations difficult.
Whatever we shall attain in the way of
restricting Japanese immigration must come
to us through the treaties entered into by the
federal government, through laws enacted
by congress.
How 1t Should Be Done
Our efforts should be made through the
proper channels, and we should prepare q
statement of facts to support any petition
we may present.
/ would therefore recommend that a sufh-
cient appropriation be made to enable the la
bor commissioner to take census showing
the number of Japanese now in the state, the
number classed laborers, and those classed
as agriculturists, the number Of acres OF
land owned by Japanese and the number of
acres leased, and to get such other and further
information may be useful in making a
States and to congress.
With such census we can ascertain here
after whether or not the japanese population
of this state is increasing decreasing, and
whether not they are extending their real
property holdings.
most respectfully submit this whole mat
ter to your most careful and thoughtful con-
sideration, hoping and believing that no mis-
takes will be made in the proper solution
thereof, and that nothing may be done in
the way Of passing legislation which will tend
hereafter to embarrass the representatives of
our country in dealing with the nation of
japan concerning immigration matters
