leading agricultural industries in

true of the two lower counties
where the sale of eggs and chick
ems are the chief sources OF income
from many of the farms. Accord
ing to the United States Census for
1925. the poultry industry as
whole resulted in more income to
the farmers of Delaware than any
other one type of farming.
