Excerpt from Twenty-Fourth Annual Report of the Indiana, Vol. 16: State Board of Agriculture, 1874, Including the Proceedings of the Annual Meeting, 1875

To the Governor:

I have the honor to submit herewith the report of the transactions of the Indiana State Board of Agriculture for the past year, together with the annual statements as condensed from the reports of the Secretaries of the County and District Agricultural Societies within the State. Also, statistical and valuable information to the agricultural community, and such other interesting matter as is deemed worthy of preservation for future reference.

The seasons' operations of the Board has been characterized by the continued increase of the business affairs and the wonderful success in making an exhibition of all the industries of the country, and an attractive display of the rare works of nature and art.

The wisdom of the law creating the Board of Agriculture, is demonstrated by the marked improvement in all agricultural pursuits and the machinery and appliances by which they are carried on, and the grand results in opening mines of wealth throughout the State, much of which improvement, is directly traceable to, or through the agency of this organization, as is especially observant to those persons that were connected with the Association at an early day. It is also manifested by the number of agricultural societies now in existence within the State, which were created through the agency of the State Board.

During an existence of twenty-three years, the Board; (consisting of sixteen members, representing as many districts into which the State is divided for such representation), has been composed of ninety-six different persons.
