In order to offset this migration of i

was reported to have indicated that
many Japanese could find profitable
employment as truck gardeners in
districts surrounding the large cities
It was also learned that in most of
these districts Japanese could lease
or buy land without restriction.
For years California has been wag
ing a fight for a "white state."
The
political fight has ended, the Japa
nese bave given assurance that they

been left a vast and acute economic
problem of replacing Orientals
California farms.
The big land owners of California
have been hit the hardest. The huge
estates have been the largest employ
rs of Japanese under leasehold and
crop-sharing contracts. These estates
still can employ Japanese as farm la
borers for cash wages, but the Japa
nese is declared to be not nearly so
efficient as a laborer as on a crop,
sharing basis. Furthermore, the Ja
panese themselves much prefer a pro
prietary interest in their undertakings
now forbidden in California, but
which is possible in other state »in
cluding Montana.
In many quarters the breaking up
and sale of big estates is forecast. If
necessary they must be sold or leas
ed in small parcels to farmers who
can till the acreage by their own re
sources. Often the larger farms can
not afford to hire enough day labor
on
ers.
Japs Had 16 Per Cent
In 1920 William D. Stephens, then
governor of California, reported to
fédéral authorities at Washington
that Japanese operated 458,056 a< res

producing crops valued at $67,145,730.
