In order to arrive at a better understanding as to the constitu- 

 tion of the Board of Horticulture, I beg leave to incorporate in this 



report section 1 of the amendatory act 

 of 1895: 



"Section 1. There is hereby created 

 a Board of Horticulture, to consist of 

 six members, who shall be appointed by 

 board, consisting of the Governor, Sec- 

 retary of State, and State Treasurer. 

 One member of the said Board of Hor- 

 ticulture shall represent the State at 

 large and shall be the president and ex- 

 ecutive officer of the Board, and one 

 member shall be appointed to represent 

 each of the five districts as hereby 

 created, to-wit: (1) The First District, 

 which shall comprise the counties of Multnomah, Clackamas, Yam- 

 hill. Washington, Columbia, Clatsop, and Tillamook; (2) the Sec- 

 ond District, Avhich shall comprise the counties of Marion. Polk, 

 Benton, Lincoln, Linn, and Lane; (3) the Third District, which 

 shall comprise the counties of Douglas, Jackson, Klamath, Jose- 

 phine, Coos, Curry, and Lake; (4) the Fourth District, which 

 shall comprise the counties of Wasco, Sherman, Morrow, Gilliam, 

 and Crook; (5) the Fifth District, which shall comprise the coun- 

 ties of Umatilla, Union, Wallowa, Baker, Malheur, Harney and

In order to understand the territoiy to be covered by the Com- 

 missioners, I note the size, approximately, of their respective dis- 

 tricts : 



The area of the First District exceeds 6,000 square miles. 

 The area of the Second District exceeds 10,000 square miles. 

 The area of the Third District exceeds 26,000 square miles. 

 The area of the Fourth District exceeds 14,500 square miles. 

 The area of the Fifth District exceeds 36,000 scinare miles.
