Excerpt from Fifth Annual Report of the Secretary of the Connecticut Board of Agriculture: 1871-72
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Sec. 1. The governor, one person appointed from each county by the incorporated agricultural society in that county or when there are several incorporated societies in one county, by mutual agreement of those societies, or in rotation from each society as it may be arranged by them, and four persons appointed by the governor, with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall constitute the State Board of Agriculture.
Sec. 2. One half of the appointed members of the board shall retire from office on the second Wednesday of May, in each year, according to their appointments. The vacancies thus occurring shall be filled by the Governor and Senate, or by the agricultural societies, as the offices were before filled, and the persons thus appointed shall hold their offices for two years from the expiration of the former terms. Other vacancies may be filled in the same manner for the remainder of vacant terms. At the first meeting of the board, the individuals whose term of office expires in one year shall be determined by lot.
Sec. 3. The board shall meet at one of the state capitals, where the general assembly shall meet at least once in each year, and as much oftener as may be deemed expedient. The members of the board of agriculture shall receive no compensation for their services but each member shall receive his necessary traveling expenses while engaged in the duties of his office, for a term of service not to exceed fifteen days in each year unless delegated by the board to some special duty requiring longer service.
Sec. 4. The board may appoint and prescribe the duties of a secretary who shall be ex-officio a member of the same; and who shall receive for his services out of the appropriation for the use of the board, such sum as the board shall direct.
