The following is an extract from description of
Vineland, published in the New York Tribune by
the well known agriculturalist, Solon Robinson:
"Al the farmers were of the well to do sort and
some of them, who have turned their attention TO
fruits and market gardening, have grown rich.
The soil is loan, varying from sandy to clayey, and
surface gently undulating, intersected with small
streams and occasional wet meadows in which de-
posits of peat muck are stored sufficient to fer
tilize the whole upland surface, after it has been
exhausted of its natural fertility.
at is certainly one of the most extensive tracts
in an almost level position and suitable condition
for pleasant farming, that know of this side of
the western prairies. We found some of the old
est farms apparently just profitably productive
as when first cleared of forest fifty or a 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, generally in the form of indurated cal
careous mari, showing many distinct forms of an
cient shells, of the tertiary formation; and this
marty substance is scattered all through the soil,
in very comminuted form, and in the exact con-
dition most easily assimilated by such plants as
the farmer desires TO cultivate" au3y1
