The society is composed of a number of local sections,one of which, the Northern Intermountain (formerly Idaho-Washington), was established in 1912 under the leadership of Dr. George Olson of the Washington Agricultural Experiment Station. There were 26 charter members. Dr. Elton Fulmer was elected chairman in 1913.
