minister Of education for Alberta, is
in Devils Lake interviewing County
Superintendent Haig on the success

solidated school. Alberta educators
will endeayor to obtain legislation
permitting consolidation OF schools
and before presenting the proposition
to their law makers the leaders are
~endeavoring to gather facts concerns
ing the practicabiIity of such institu-
tons.
The result OF MI. MacKenzie's In
vestigations has been very satisfae-
tory.
He is convinced that the console
dated school is the solution of the
country school problem, but says that
consolidation in Alberta will be much
more difficult than in the United
States because they have the district
instead of the township system and
because the roads are SO poorly laid.

g~solating certain. districts. However,
he believes that Alberta will in time
have consolidated schools.

REFUSES To PAY
FOR "PIG" WORK

Valley City, N. D., Jan. 19.-What
promises to be a war between States
Attorney Paulson and the county
commissioners arose today, when Mr..
Paulson refused to endorse the pay
ment of 1922 of the county's funds
to workers who made an investigation
into the blind pig work here last
year. The investigation was made by
]. L. Watkins Of the law enforcement
league and ended in several convic-
lions.
The board would have allowed the
payment, but Mr.. Paulson objected ON
the grounds that the state law for
bids such payment where the money
was not first appropriated for that
purpose. Also, he declared the action
must first have been sanctioned by
the states attorney, and he was not
consulted. The commissioners adj
journed without making payment,
and the matter will rest until their
| next session.

INNOVATION IN
CROP REPORTS.

Secretary Wilson has announced an
important innovation to the crop re-
porting system by the department
which is the cumulative interpreta-
ton of the figures indicating the con-
dition OF growing crops for which es-
Inmates are made at the close OF each
year. The significance of h change
figures from month to month of the
growing crops involved has been
shown by their translation or inter-
probation into figures indicating the
yield OF such crops as promised by the
condition reports.
Before such official interpretations
were made, the condition figures were
subject, in past years, to many differ
ing interpretations, by both private
and commercial interests, some OF
which were undoubtedly made for
speculative purposes, the idea being
to influence improperly the course OF
prices. Since the official interpreta-
lions have been made, during the past
year, the private interpretations have
practically ceased, those emanating
from this bureau being accepted in
practically all quarters as the fairest
anu most dutLSutlC hBulS1 poSSiOAO
TO be based on the condition reports
1t should be said, in passing, that of
the leading crops, for which quanti-
tative interpretations of condition fig
ures are made, all are included except
the cotton crop. In the case Of cot
ton 1t is impossible to interpret the
condition figures because of the fact
that an important element, necessary
to such Interpretation, is lacking, to-
wit, the abandoned acreage of cotton.
This amount cannot be ascertained
until the close of the season, and IT
has been found impracticable in it's abb
sence to translate, quantatively, the
figures showing the condition of the
growing crop.
