Statisticians Figured

2 .020,000 bushels ~unfavorable to

years after the false statement was

that North Dakota raised 59.6SS, 600
bushels more OF wheat in 1909 than
did Minnesota, instead of 3,318,00
bushels less. as published in December,
1909. A further study of The Crop
Reporter shows that the department
OF agriculture admitted their error, for
we find in future fluctuations OF crop
yields that the census figures have
been adopted in toto. In short this
ponderous aggregation for the diffu-

The methods of gatheriaS statistics
in vogue in the state department are
characterized by the anne thorough
ness as those of the census enumer~
ators, each farmer being personally
seen and interviewed under oath by
the different county assessors, the
tabulated result being forwarded to
the commissioner of agriculture and
labor by the various county auditors.
These figures show the actual amount
of grain raised during the crop year

STATE FORESTER .
BARRETT IS DEAD

Devils Lake, N. D., Feb. 20.-With
four score and two years of activity
composing his life work, thirty"one Of
which were spent in Ramsey county,
the death OF w. w. Barrett OF
Churchs Ferry occurred at the home
of his son., George Barrett of Lakota.
Old 6 Is attributed as the cause OF
his demise.
Few men in Ramsey county or the
state at large, were better known
han ". w. Barrett, who resided on
his beautiful farm east of the Ferry.
For ten years he held the position as
state forester and is responsible for
everything that has been done along
this line in the state, being the first
and only person who a held the po-
sition from 1891 to 1901.
At his farm east of the Ferry he
constructed q sylVaton pyramid which
was n of the objects of interest or
this section of the state. II is claim
ed this is the only pyramid made Of
wholly glaciated rocks to be found in
any part of the entire earth. 1t was
from rear to year by a vast number
of able biologists and students from
every part Of the world. Striated
rocks of which this monument and
others were made. together with over
5000 more glaciated specimens, We're
gathered by Mr.. Barrett from year to
year in Ramsey county, since his ar.
rival here in 1883.
The funeral will be held Friday at
Lakota.

PhiIippine Masons.

Omaha World Herald: Before the

tied in the Philippines, If a Mason was
caught he was taken to the public
square and shot. 1t was thought that
the order had been completely sup
pressed, but when the country came
under the rule of the United States a
surprising number Of lodges and Ma
sons appeared. Many of the leading
Filipinos are Masons, some of them
under the jurisdiction Of the grand
lodge of Scotland. There is also a Chi
nese lodge to which Americans have
beer invited. The guests always po-
litely decline a second invitation as the
strange ceremonies begin at 7 o'clock
in the evening. last all night and well
into the next day, and it is considered
very impolite to leave before the cere-
monies are all over. 1t Is said that
while some of the ceremonies have the
color of Masonry. the main object Of
the order is rather political than Ma
sonic. One American visitor said that

by comparison. A specific example
will best illustrate how North Dakota
has been belittled in the past n the
more eastern state credited with a.
prosperity that later figures show
to have existed.
In December. 1909 the department
OF agriculture at Washington stated in
The Crop Reporter-the official organ
of the department--that the yield or
spring wheat In Minnesota for 1909
was $4,000, 900 bushels and 90,762,00o
bushels in North Dakota 1t should
be remembered that this was the same
year for which the census enumera-
tors gathered crop statistics in the
spring Of 1910, and that the agri-
cultural department derives it's in
formation from the guesses Of q few
correspondents, while the census offt :
Gals actually visited and talked with
every farmer in both states. In March,
1912. when the final figures of the
census bureau for the crop Of 1909 be-
came available, it was found that the
yield of wheat in Minnesota for that
year was only 57,0a4, 600 bushels in
stead Of $4,000, 900 bushels as former
" published broadcast by the depart
ment of agriculture, and that h yield
in North Dakota for the same year
was ZIG, 1872, 900 bushels instead of 9O,-
$4,000 as published at the same time.

The local lodges were occupied with
aiding such of their own members as

for thosew no passed away. A large
number of these unaffiliated members
were not attached to any local body

Barnes Shows Progress.
The report of Secretary Barnes
showed that the association made a
substantial increase in membership
during the past year. He urged the
members to- keep in closer touch with
the secretary SO that better results
can ge accomplished. Treasurer Noes

ed that the figures presented by Mr..
Moe were correct.
In his address on Credit and Collec-

and approved method for granting
credit and making collections. He also
showed the relation of credits to sales,
and declared that by keeping a careful
account OF the collections the dealer
would DE able TO discount his bills.
