The county board of horticultural commissioners may receive, manage, use and hold donations and bequests for promoting the objects of its formation. It shall meet semiannually, and as much oftener and at such places as it may deem expedient, to consult and adopt such measures as may best promote the horticultural industry of the county. It may, but without expense to the county, select and appoint competent and qualified persons to lecture in the county, for the purpose of illustrating practical horticultural topics, and imparting instruction in the methods of culture, pruning, fertilizing and also in the best methods of treating diseases of fruits and fruit trees, cleansing orchards and exterminating insect pests. The county board of horticultural commissioners shall at their first meeting select from among themselves a chairman, a secretary and a treasurer who shall furnish bond to the county commissioners in the sum of five hundred dollars ($500.00) for the faithful discharge of his duties.
