scription of Vineland, published in th
New York Tribune, by the well-knowl
Agriculturist, Solon Robinson;
All the farmers were of the "well to do
sort, and some of them, who have turne
, their attention TO fruits and market gard
] ening, have grown rich. The soil is loan
varying from sandy to clayey, and surfac
gently undulating, intersected with sma
streams and occasional wet meadows. /
which deposits of peat or muck are stored
. sufficient 10 fertilize the whole upland SUI
: face, after il has been exhausted of il
!. natural fertility.
IL is certainly one of the most extensiv
fortile tracts, in an almost level position
and suitable condition for pleasant farm
. ing, that we know of this side of the Wes
y ern prairies. We found sOme of the ole
a est farms apparently just as proiitabl
productive as when first cleared of fore
tifty or hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover tl
= cause of this continued fertility. III
n whole country is a marine deposit, and a
through the soil we found evidences
calcareous substances, generally in h
IF form OF indurated calcaroOus mari, show
ing many distinct forms of ancient shell
= of the tertiary formation and this mari
substance is scattered all through the sol
u in very comminuted form, and in II
exact condition most easily assimmilatC
by such plants as the farmer desires
cultivate. II Sm
