of Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds, and White and Barred Plymouth 

 Rocks. 



Section n. Pleasantville Area. This area extends along the shore just 

 outside of Atlantic City, and, with Pleasantville as its center, contains a 

 number of modern poultry plants similar to those found in Sections 1 and 

 2. The nearby shore resorts furnish ready markets. The Leghorn is the 

 prevailing type. 



Section 12. Franklinville-Elmer Area. That part of Gloucester County 

 around Franklinville, and a corner of Salem County in the vicinity of Elmer 

 are included in this area. Poultry raising is carried on in connection with 

 general farming, and the farms, which range from 25 to 100 acres, raise 

 a large part of the food consumed by the birds. Flocks vary from 400 to 

 1200 birds. Eggs are for the most part shipped 25 miles to Philadelphia. 

 In addition to Leghorns, the heavier breeds, such as Wyandottes and Barred 

 and White Plymouth Rocks, are raised. 



Success in 

 poultry raising 

 depends upon 

 intelligent 

 management.
