the insurance men have been wide
awake and active constantly to warn
and guard against fires, and to notify
the insured that proper precautions
must be taken to avoid fires wherever
it is possible to avoid them And yet
in spite Of all, the loss is greater than
before, not only month by month, but
so very much greater for the six
months as to amount practically to
80 per cent. This is an enormous in
crease for a period of six months, 1T
is hardly possible but that the fire in
surance companies must be hard put to
it to keep up their working surpluses in
the face of losses like these A loss
amounting almost to $130,000,000 in six
months, this being an increase of $780,
100000 over the fire loss of the six
months of the year before, is some
thing that may fairly cause everybody
to pause and reflect. For it is loss
that is not only appalling in the aggre-
gate, but considered in the light of the
great gain by fire waste, it is in fact
appalling. And when we consider that
most of it was preventable, the amaze
ment at the recklessness that continues
and increases it is indeed justified.

ALFALFA WEEVIL AND SEED.

The complaint voiced in yesterday
mornings Tribune by Mr.. A. II. Voge-
Ter against the action of the quaran-
tine officer of southern California. in
barring the shipments there of Utah
alfalfa and alfalfa seed, is well placed.
Perhaps, in view Of the publicity given
to the fact of the prevalence Of
weevil IN Utah alfalfa fields, it was
to be expected that quarantine Off
cials in other States would bar ship.
ments Of Utah alfalfa into those States.
But this need not cause any alarm. for
Utah imports hay, and does not export
il TO any extent. II will be no hard
ship upon the State to have the ship.
ments of alfalfa out from here pro
tested against in California, even
though there is no real reason for the
quarantine.
1t is II different matter, however,

SIX MONTHS FIRES.

In spite of all that has been said
about the frightful waste from pre-
ventable fires in this country, that
waste appears to be growing in place of
diminishing. The fire loss Of this
country and Of Canada during the
month of June Just past was 20,96l, )
$50, as compared with SIS, ,lS3, 500 for
June last year, And this was not a
mere sporadic jump applying to the
month of June. either; for the fire
losses for the first six months Of 1911
amounted to S129,69l $50, as against
500 ,22s,900 for the first six months of
last year; an increase of $50, 1862, $50
The fire losses by months for the six
months of the two years are reported
as follows in the Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Advertiser of New
Work.
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1911-07-13

when that quarantine officer, evidently
mistaking the weevil for burrowing
insect into the alfalfa seed, bars the
shipment Of Utah alfalfa seed. There
is no talnt upon the alfalfa seed, either
raised or shipped; even though weevil
were In the field the seed is free from
lmpurity or any taint. The weevil does
not infest the seed, and there is not
the slightest danger of transmitting
the weevil in the shipments of seed.
Besides, the seed is raised in fields
where the weevil has not appeared.
quarantine officials, therefore, so far
as alfalfa seed is concerned, is based
on wrong principles, and the order
should be annulled,
We are glad to see Mr. Vogeler make
this protest, and hope that he may be
joined by all the dealers in alfalfa
seed in Utah, to the end that better
understanding may be had by the
quarantine officer of southern Califor
MIA, and any other quarantine officer
who may be disposed to stretch his au-
thority into matters that are not in
volved in the real purpose Of quaran-
tine. The farmers Of Utah will have
to bear such quarantines as are based
upon intelligence and fact, but they
naturally object, and ought TO object,
to quarantines that are based on mis-
understanding, and on propositions that
do not apply to the case,
By proper representations. we have
no doubt that the quarantine estab-
lished against Utah alfalfa seed can
be raised. 1t ought to be raised prompt
ly, because the shipment of alfalfa
seed has nothing whatever to do with
any question of weevil or any con
