cover a restricted territory, chiefly west and south of New York, east of 

 Philadelphia, and along the coast. The central and southern sections are 

 sparsely populated, and much of the land is devoted to, or is available for, 

 farming. Attention is directed to the fact that although the population 

 density of New Jersey, 405 persons per square mile, is exceeded only by that 

 of Rhode Island and Massachusetts, 75 per cent of all the people are found 

 in communities of over 2,500, occupying less than 6 per cent of the State's 

 area. Outside these communities the population is far below the capacity of 

 the land. 



Determination of Farming Areas. Most of the land in Cultivation lies 

 close to the railways or waterways. Combinations of soil, topography, cli- 

 mate, marketing facilities, custom, and other factors have caused types of 

 farming to become intensified in certain localities to such an extent that it is 

 possible to take up each type by areas. It is not to be inferred, however, 

 that the successful pursuit of these types is restricted to the designated areas.
