Poultry Association sends its members' products to Newark by motor truck 

 twice each week. Poultrymen in Monmouth and Ocean Counties around 

 Eatontown, Red Bank, Lakewood and Toms River sell a considerable por- 

 tion of their eggs at the shore resorts. New York and Newark markets are 

 supplied by rail, Vineland and Hammonton being provided each day with a 

 special egg car on a fast freight train. 



Potatoes and Staples. Our great potato crops are generally marketed 

 through farmers' organizations. These exchanges, through their numerous 

 branches, ship to New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Chicago, Cleveland, 

 and other cities. Staple crops are always sold without difficulty in New 

 York and Philadelphia as these markets constantly demand such products in 

 larger quantities than can be supplied. 



LOCAL FARMERS' MARKETS 



Curb and Municipal Markets. Many cities of New Jersey maintain curb 

 and municipal farmers' markets where the consumers buy direct from 

 the producers, thus eliminating the middleman. The cities of Elizabeth 

 and Perth Amboy have large retail curb markets where thousands of dollars 

 worth of fruits and vegetables are sold by the farmers each week during the 

 summer and fall seasons. Jersey City, Passaic, Morristown, Westfield, 

 Plainfield, and Bayonne also support such markets, while New Brunswick 

 has a very satisfactory wholesale market place for farmers. Trenton has 

 established, within the last two years, one retail and one wholesale farmers' 

 out-door market. As many as 125 farmers were accommodated during some 

 days in 1919 at these Trenton markets. Woodbury, Burlington and other 

 towns also have good retail curb markets. 



Seashore Markets. The well-known Jersey seashore resorts offer unusual 

 markets for fresh farm products the year around, the demand for the 

 best quality food stuffs always exceeding the supply. Cape May County, 

 and certain parts of Atlantic County, market practically their entire crops 

 at these resorts, and large quantities of fruits and vegetables are hauled by 

 motor trucks to the shore from Cumberland, Burlington and Monmouth 

 Counties.
