In 1919, Japanese births represent 1 out of every13 children born in the state. (c) In 18 selected agricultural counties of the state, the averagebirths of Japanese have risen from 3.2 per cent of the total birthsin 1910 to 12.3 per cent in 1919. (See Chart 4 on next page.) In the rural parts of Sacramento County, 49.7 per cent of allbirths in 1919 were Japanese. While the Japanese birth rate is far in excess of that of all othernationalities in this state, this is not infrequently true of a new peopleimmigrating into a new land. Also, among the Japanese, which is a new race here, most of the adultsare comparatively young and of the family-raising ages, while amongthe whites, a race long resident in California, there is necessarily theusual proportion of elderly persons. 37 38 CALIFORNIA AND THE ORIENTAL
