Sec. 917.27  Alternates.

    There shall be an alternate for each member of the Control 
Committee, and an alternate for each member of each commodity committee. 
Each such alternate shall possess the same qualifications, shall be 
nominated and selected in the same manner and shall hold office for the 
same term, as the member for whom he is alternate. An alternate shall, 
in the event of such member's absence at a meeting of the committee, act 
in the place and stead of such member; and, in the event of such 
member's removal, resignation, disqualification, or death, the alternate 
for such member shall, until a successor for the unexpired term of said 
member has been selected, act in the place and stead of said member. In 
the event both a member and his alternate are unable to attend a meeting 
the member or the committee members present may designate any other 
alternative to serve in such member's place and stead provided such 
action is necessary to secure a quorum.
