ADVANTAGES AND CONDITIONS 



POSITION. New Jersey has long been known for its truck farms; 

 its advantages for dairying, fruit raising, poultry and general 

 farming are less well recognized. Occupying the most advan- 

 tageous position in the Union, between the two great centers of 

 New York and Philadelphia, and with more than ten million people living 

 within sixty miles of the State House, New Jersey offers a wonderful field 

 to agriculturists. Its unexcelled markets, moderate climate, and the ready 

 adaptability of its soils to a wide range of crops, give opportunities for farm- 

 ing such as no other state can offer. 



New Jersey's Rank in Farming. The total value of the State's agricul- 

 tural products is estimated at $150,000,000, which, coming from slightly 

 over 1,000,000 acres of cultivated land, gives the exceedingly high average 



One of Jersey's century-old farms.
