WASHINGTON, Wednesday; Feb. 11.--(AP)--Japanese own and operate 6,118 farms with a total acreage of 258,074 in California, Washington and Oregon, according to the 1940 census, the Census Bureau announced yesterday. In many instances the Japanese will have to leave these lands as result of recent orders defining barred and restricted zones for enemy aliens on the West Coast.

Most of the Japanese farmers, or a total of 5,135, are in California, while Washington and Oregon respectively have 706 and 277. The value of Japanese farm lands and buildings in California is $65,780,572, in Washington $4,313,757, and in Oregon $2,547,605.
