With reference to specific crops, sweet potatoes lead all other crops 
in acreage, followed in order of extent by corn, tomatoes, and hay. 
The large acreage of pasture, arises from the fact that mowing lands 
are grazed in rotation in this area before being plowed for the 
growing of a tilled crop. Asparagus ranks next to these crops in 
acreage, while the other truck crops are found in subordinate though 
important acreages. 
As in the Thorofare area, the Irish potato crop is juntaeaie of 
minor importance upon the sandy soils.
