Excerpt from Laws Relating to the State Board of Agriculture and Incorporated Agricultural Societies: Together With the by-Laws of the Board of Agriculture, and Rules and Recommendations of the Board for the Agricultural Societies Which Draw State Bounty

Section 1. The governor, lieutenant-governor and secretary of the commonwealth, the president of the agricultural college, the secretary of the board of agriculture, one person appointed from and by the Massachusetts society for promoting agriculture, one person appointed from and by each agricultural society which receives an annual bounty from the commonwealth, and three other persons appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the council, shall constitute the state board of agriculture.

(Section 4 of chapter 206 of the Acts of 1874 provides that "the chemist of the State Board of Agriculture shall be ex officio a member of said board and state inspector of fertilizers.")

Sect. 2. One-third of the appointed members of said board shall retire from office on the first Wednesday of February in each year, according to their appointments. The vacancies thus occurring shall be filled by the governor and council, or by the agricultural societies, as the offices were before filled, and the persons thus appointed shall hold their offices for three years from the expiration of the former terms. Other vacancies may be filled in the same manner for the remainder of the vacant terms.

Sect. 3. The board shall meet at the state house or at the agricultural college at least once in each year, and as much oftener as may be deemed expedient. No member of said board shall receive compensation from the commonwealth except for personal expenses when engaged in the duties of the board.
