A Vernon speech by Senator Sheppard on immigration and the Japanese exclusion feature sparks dialogue. He estimates 400000 Japanese in California, predicting a tenfold rise in ten years, and argues Congress must act to curb growth amid controversy over race and policy.
The editorial mocks Senator Sheppard's forecast that 100000 would rise to a million in ten years. It notes Japanese in the United States grew from 112000 to 120000 in fifteen years and argues no sane person wants more immigration. It says the immigration bill ends the agreement with Japan and that population growth cannot multiply tenfold in ten years by births alone.

The passage argues that every Texas county should have a home demonstrator and a county farm agent to boost farming as a science driven enterprise.
