San Francisco, Cal.-The birth rec
ords of the bureau of vital statistics
of the California state board of health
indicate that the japanese population
in the state Is increasing at a rapid
rate From 1906, when the japanese
births were 1874, they have increased
steadily to 4,219 in 1918. While there
is no separate record of the Japanese
population, the birth record is taken
as absolute, evidence that the number
of japanese families residing in the
state is steadily increasing.
This increase is most notable in the
fruit sections, where the Japanese
have cOlOniZed and are now in cOmpe-
tition with the white fruit grower. The
greatest increase is in Los Angeles
county, where, in 1918, there were
], 1923 Japanese births recorded
In the Fruit Counties.
Alameda, Fresno, Sacramento, San
Joaquin and Santa Clara all extensive
fruit counties, show large number Of
japanese births for 1918, but only in
Sal Joaquin and Santa Clara is there
any Increase over the record of 1917,
anG in these cases it is only very slight.
In San Francisco where the japanese
population is admitted to be very ex-
tensive, the births in 1918 were only
261, as against 263 in 1917, indicating
that the japanese population had not
increased to any great extent except
during the last two years. This same
may be said of the interior, for the
total increase of Japanese births in the
