The following is an extract from a de-
scription of Vineland, published in the
| New York Tribune, by the we'll known
! Agrieulturist, SOlon RobinsOni
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 undulating, 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.
1t is 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 pTairies. We found some of the old
est farms apparently just as proftably
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 oi
ealeareous substances, generally in the
form Of indurated calcareous mari, show.
ing many distinct forms of ancient shells
Of the tertiary formation and this marIy
substance is scattered all through the soil
in a very com minuted form, and in thC
by such plants as the farm " desires tC
cultivate. 6m
