A dairy farm on low-priced, newly-cleared land. 



yield of about $150 per acre. In proportion to its area New Jersey leads 

 all states east of the Mississippi River in acreage and total production of 

 alfalfa. On the same basis it leads all states in poultry and potato pro- 

 duction. Three of its counties are among the five largest producing sweet 

 potato counties in the United States and the State holds the dairy record for 

 the highest county production per cow. New Jersey's crop of black- 

 berries and dewberries is the largest, and its asparagus crop is the 

 second largest, in the country. It raises more than one-half of the pepper 

 crop, and one-third of the cranberry crop. Contrary to the general opinion 

 that the State's agricultural activities are confined mostly to the raising of 

 fruit and truck, it can be shown that New Jersey produces annually over 

 $25,000,000 worth of dairy products, $17,000,000 worth of corn, $14,000,- 

 000 worth of hay, and $19,000,000 worth of potatoes.
