Excerpt from Report of the Board of Agriculture to the California State Agricultural Society: At the Annual Meeting, January 26, 1865; With a Synopsis of the Proceedings of the Annual Meeting, and a Meeting of the Board

Gentlemen: - This being the year in which no report to the Governor is required by law, the Board will reserve a more detailed report of the year's transactions until the proper time shall arrive, and proceed to give to the members of the Society a brief account of their stewardship, and to make such suggestions and recommendations as their experience and the condition of the Society and the State seem to demand.

One year ago, when we assumed charge of the affairs of the Society, it was at the close of a year of prosperity to all classes of industry in the State. The agriculturist had been blessed with a plentiful harvest, which had enabled and induced him to prepare for an extensive field of operations, with bright hopes that his renewed efforts would again be crowned with success. The miner, in addition to extracting from the placer deposits and quartz ledges the usual quantities of the precious metals, had extended his discoveries and developed new regions of unusual richness, and was confident in the prospect of a year of unequaled prosperity. The mechanic, the manufacturer, and all other classes of the community dependent on the two former for encouragement and support, had received a corresponding impulse and were looking forward to the new year cheered with confidence and hope.

Under the judicious and economical management of our immediate predecessors, the financial condition of the Society had been much improved. A portion of a large debt which had been allowed to accumulate against the Society during a series of previous years had been canceled. A change of administration had, to a certain extent, checked the increasing dissatisfaction and want of confidence, so prevalent in the community toward the Society and its management. Under these circumstances, and with reliant expectation of material aid from the State, the Board met on the 9th of February, and by unanimous vote resolved to hold a general Fair of every Department of Industry of the State in the following September.

The Legislature, then in session, contrary to our expectations, and, as we think, acting upon a very short-sighted policy, withheld the usual appropriation for the payment of premiums.
