      Historique

      The Department of the Commissioner of Agriculture and Arts was formally established on March 2, 1877, replacing the Department of the Commissioner of Agriculture and Public Works.

      The Commissioner acted as head of the Bureau of Agriculture and Arts from 1877 until 1882, as well as the Bureau of Industries, which replaced the Bureau of Agriculture and Arts, from 1882 until 1888.

      The department was also responsible for a number of agricultural and arts- related agencies and associations, including: the Council of the Agricultural and Arts Association; the Association of Mechanics' Institutes of Ontario; the Ontario Society of Artists; the Fruit Growers' Association; the Entomological Society; the Dairymen's Association; and the Ontario Agricultural College and Experimental Farm, among others.

      In 1880, the arts-related responsibilities of the Commissioner, and the bureau, were transferred to the Department of Education. The name of the department, however, remained the Department of the Commissioner of Agriculture and Arts until March 23, 1888, when legislation was passed, renaming it the Department of Agriculture.

The department was also responsible for acquiring and publishing information and statistics, related to agriculture and industry, and for inspecting the books and accounts of the agricultural, arts and manufacturing societies and associations that were in receipt of government grants.
