Adelanto Sets Ambitious Poultry Growth Plans
Adelanto is rapidly expanding its poultry industry as 800 chicks in 1925 grow to about 15 000 chickens and 5 000 turkeys this year. The town aims for 20 000 chickens and 20 000 turkeys next year with new chicken and turkey plants under construction. Local pioneers pushed the industry past experiments, and businessmen Klusman Price of Ontario plan 4 000 turkeys in 1928 and 8 000 in 1929, with other facilities adding capacity and small plants forming. The community adopts the motto Turkey Town as it grows toward these targets.
