Abstract
THE Minister of Agriculture and Fisheries is one of the newer departments of the State; though it 6nly obtained its designation as a Ministry in 1919, it was founded in 1889 as the Board of Agriculture, and took over certain functions which had previously been administered by the Privy Council. Later Acts have extended its interests and powers, but it remains unique among departments of State in Great Britain in that it deals with a special section of the community rather than a particular function of government.
