After stating that "the blood fusion
of the Occident and the Orient has no

Governor Stephens said that "Califor-

in population as well as in land con-
troll and foresees in the not distant
future the gravest menace of serious
conflict If this development is not

The spirit of existing anti-alien land
laws and immigration agreements has
been evaded through the employment
of legal and other subterfuges to such
an extent that the purpose of the meas

Stephens charged. He referred to
the suspension of anti-Asiatic legisla-

cisive action was not necessary now.

Losses From Soil Erosion Can Be
Prevented By Careful Terracing
Farmers Can Increase Their Income By Proper Appca
ton of Suitable Method

Soil erosion, which usually results
in enormous losses to the farmers of
the United States, is most effectively
prevented or controlled by terracing.
There are two distinct types Of ter
races. For use on modern slopes the
ridge terrace is best adapted, while for
step slopes the bench terrace gives
the best results.
The ridge terraces are divided into
the narrow-base and the broad-base
types. The broad-base terrace can be
cultivated and~can be crossed readily
by modern farm machinery without in
jury to the terrace; the narrow-base
terrace does not possess either of
these advantages and under ordinary
circumstances is less desirable than
the broad-base type.
The broad-base, level ridge terrace

CALIFORNIA; Yellow Peril
Governor Asks for Negotiations With Japan

While California harbors no anil
mostly 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 OF
State Colby, he asks that immediate
negotiations be entered into with the
Empire of Japan to make impossible
further "evasions" >of immigration
agreements.
Twenty years ago our Japanese
population was nominal the letter
said. "Ten years ago the census re-
ports of the United States Government
showed Japanese population in Cali
fornia of 41,S56. A computation and
survey recently made by the Board OF
Control of the State of California indi-
Gates that this Japanese population
has been more than doubled amount
ing to 1929"
Governor Stephens said he feared
that the initiative measure. if passed,
might fall short of it's purpose through
the Japanese retaining possessin OF
agricultural lands through personal
employment contracts. and that
thereafter government action was
necessary.
Although respecting Japanese cul'
ture and advancement and the right
of Japan to true development, Cover
nor Stephens held that "the people OF
California are determined to repress
a developing Japanese community In
our midst They are determined to
