THE PRINCE AND TIE
PEOPLE

The refusal of the Prince Of wales to
accept railway facilities in New Zeal
and not enjoyed by all the people may
have been a mere play to the galleries
or may have been sincere. But in any
event the heir apparent to the British
throne shows q rather clear understand
ing of the political maxim. safety
first"
New Zealand railroaders had declared
strike All railway transportation
was tied UP. The prince was assured
that the railroad men would supply q
train for his tour. but will they run
trains for all the people," the prince
asked.
He was told that they would not.
Then they Will not run one for me, for
I am just one Of the people," he replied.
There is thrill in that sort Of repartee.
And there Il wisdom behind 1t Of the
kind that has sustained the British
throne for centuries.
Imagine, II you can, a Stewart re-
fusing to accept accommodations for
himself because the common people
were not supplied in kind. Or Hohen-
xollern! The Imagination balks on
! work OF that kind.
Other thrones may totter and crumble
but the English throne will endure yet
for some time. because England has set
herself the task Of rearing democratic
kings.

The strike of the Denver Tramway

NEW REGULATIONS ON THE
ALFALFA QUARANTINE IN DELTA

AS result of series of public
meetings in relation to the alfalfa
weevil quarantine work, some modi-
fications of that law have been de-
cided upon that will be of interest to
the growers in the matters of dispos-
ing of surplus hay. After a careful
survey of the fields it was decided to
include the entire county within the
quarantine area this season
Chief Deputy Geo. NJ. List of the
chronological department ofthe Colo
rado Agricultural College gives out
the statement that the regulations are
very similar to those that have been
in effect during the past season, but
the fact that alfalfa meal will be per
mitted to leave the county gives the
growers some hope in the matter of
disposing of their surplus hay. How
ever, alfalfa mills must be operated
under the regulations of the entomo-
logical department Of the college, and
such mills must be located on land
that is free from growing alfalfa, and
the warehouse for storing the meal
must be kept free from alfalfa hay.
Hauling to mill and grinding will be
permitted only from October / to
April 1. as during the cool weather
the insects are not so active.
1t is the belief of the chronological
department that the meal ground un-
der these conditions can be shipped
out of the county without endanger-
ing the remainder of the state or other
states, but the mills must be operated
according to the ouaraufipe regrla-
tions. Straw can be used for packing
purposes providing it bears a certifi-
cate from the county horticultural in
spector showing that it has been
grown outside of the quarantiued area
and has been stored in such way
that 1t Will be kept free from weevils.
1t is hoped that another year some
means of fumigation will be devised
that will make the straws safs for
packing purposes.
