Chichen Raising In Florida An Ideal
Business, Is Declaration of W. P. Powell

The citrus crop of the entire State
Of Florida runs about S6,0OO,OOO
There is one small city
in California which does S4,OOO,0OO
in eggs and broilers and
poultry supplies. Twenty years ago
that town had an idea-today it is
the largest producing city in the
world. Mighty is the hen.
They claim for that California egg
city that it is the logical location
for the business. But it has moth
ing that Florida has not. The three
great factors for poultry success are
a sandy loan SOIL moderate temper
atures, moist sea air--and, Of course,
well-drained land. Next is the mar

is nearer to the center of popula-
ton, and it has Cuba trailing Off
the southern end of the State. In
Florida we are raising the same
breed of chickens-White Leghorns
for eggs and Plymouth Rocks for
liable use.
The average price of eggs at
wholesale in California has been 30
