Excerpt from Annual Report of the Department of Agriculture of the Province of Alberta, 1913 The occupancy of the new buildings with enlarged accommoda tion gave opportunity for a regrouping of co-related lines of work that was impossible or inconvenient while in the old building. One of the first changes made early in the year was to transfer the work of collect ing the statistics pertaining to crops from the direct supervision of the Deputy Minister's Office to that of the Publicity Bureau. The idea was that this work was more closely associated with the work of this bureau than to the purely administration work of the Deputy's Office. The us ual statistics will be found under a separate heading. In much the same way the enlarged quarters gave Opportunity for the grouping together Of all the work pertaining to live stock under the direct supervision Of the Live Stock Commissioner. The enrolment of stallions under The Horse Breeders' Ordinance and the supervision and administration Of the Herd, Entire Animals, Pound Districts, Estray Animals and Stock Inspection Ordinances was, therefore, transferred from the general Office under the administration of the Deputy to the Live Stock Commissioner. A full report giving all the usual particulars will be found in connection with the Live Stock Commissioner's report.
