Excerpt from Poultry for Pleasure and Profit The great question is as to the breed to select. For all purposes, whether it be to bring pleasure or to produce profit, there is no variety which equals the White Plymouth Rocks. This is true not because it is set down here as the dictum of one lover of poultry, but because more people who are seeking profit and pleasure in poultry breed ing - pure - bred poultry - are coming to breed White Plymouth Rocks than are taking up any other breed. This is proved by the re ports of the shows, by inspecting market stands or by driving through any parts of the country and noting the varieties of fo'wls kept.
