There are, according to poultry
specialists, six outstanding reasons
why lower Delaware is suitable to
the industry: First, ideal climatic
conditions, no extreme of heat or
cold, plenty of sunlight and salt sea
breezes from the Delaware and Ches-
apeake Bays and the Atlantic Ocean.
Second, less danger from internal
parasites, because the soil types
insure easy drainage.
Third, home grown feeds easily
obtainable, thus reducing the prices
paid for many imported feeds.
Fourth, strategic market location,
rapid transportation available by
rail and motor truck. Within 200
miles Of the Washington, Baltimore.
Wilmington, Chester, New York and
Newark, N. j., and Philadelphia mar
kets, the best in the world and less
than two days from the tables of
nearly One-fifth of the population of
the United States.
Fifth, production efficient and eco
nOinical because of great improve
ment in flocks and plants over many
sections of the county.
Sixth, returns, because Of high
grade fowls, which have been pro
fitable. Also for the breeds which
have been brought to high stand
ard.
During the year lower Delaware
poultrymen are going to make good
profits, It is said. Already. they are
making good profits, especially those
who produce thousands of broilers
throughout the spring season. From
day-Old chick until ready for the
markets as frying" chickens, a per-
iod of ten, twelve and fourteen weeks
will be required. Much depends on
the stock, housing and feed condi-
tions. Some have been known to
grow them to weigh two and a half
pounds in eight weeks; but a big
strain was used such as Orpingtons,
Black Giants, Rhode Island Reds.
and Rocks. Many of the extensive
broiler producers are using a mixed
breed, between Rocks and Reds.
They are having much success with
them, according to reports.
For table fowls, the predominating
strains are Rocks, Black Giants and
Rhode Island Reds; while for egg
production the White Leghorn is the
most extensively used in many Of
the large plants.
Many of the poultrymen are turn
ing their attention to growing tur-
keys. The largest turkey plants to
be found In the southern part Of
Sussex county are those Of Raymond
Banks and Everett Holt in the Ocean
