! The following is an extract from Il de~
scription of Vineland, published in the
, New York Tribune, by the well-known
! Agriculturist, SOlOn Robinson:
! All the farmers were of the "Well TO do"
! sort, and some of them, who have turned
| their attention to fruits and market gard
| ening, have grown rich, The soil is loan,
varying from sandy to clayey, and surface
! gently undulatiug, intersected with small
streams and occasional wet meadows in
which deposits of peat or muck are stored,
sufficient to fertilize the whole upland sur
face, after it has been exhausted of its
natural fertility.
tits certainly one of the most extensive
\ fertile tracts, in an almost level position,
and suitable condition for pleasant farm
ing, that we know of this side of the West
/ ern praiTies. We found some of the old
est farms apparently just as prohtably
| productive as when first cleared of forest
| fifty or hundred years ago.
! The geologist would soon discover the
| cause of this continued fertility, The
/ whole country is a marine deposit, and all
! through the soil we found evidences of
/ oalcareous substances, generally in the
| form of indprated calcareOus mari, show
! ing many distinct forms of ANCIENT shells,
OF the tertiary formation Qnd ,this marty
substance is scattered al through tho soil
in very comminuted form, and i'm the
/ exact condition most easily assimmilated
by suAii plants as the farmer desires to
/ cultivate, sfl
