The following isan extract from dcScrip-
ton OF Vmeland, published in tho NEW
YORK TRIBuNn, by the well known Agri-
culturist, Scion tobinson.
All the farmers were of the well to do
sort, and some of them, who have turned
their attention 10 fruits and market gar
dening, have giown rich. The soil Is
loan, varying from sandy aud clayey and
surface gently undulating, intcrsQcted
with small streams and occasional Wet
meadows, in which deposits OF peat or
muck are stored, sufficient to fertilizc the
whole upland surface, after IL has been
exhausted Of its natIIra. fertility.
ltiscertaitly one OF the most extensive
tracts, in an almost level position, aud sui
table condition for pleasant farming, that
we know of on this side of the Western
prairies. We found some of the oldest
farms apparently just az proiitaby produc-
tive us when first cleared Of forest nifty or
hundred years age.
The gcOlogist would soon discover the
cause Of this continued fertility. The
whole country is marine deposit, and all
through the soil We found evidences OF
calcareoJs substances, generally IN the
form of indurated calcareOus mari, show
ing many distinct forms of ancient shells,
of the tertiary formation; and this marty
substance is scattered all through the SOL,
I'm very comIninutcd form, and In the
exact condition most 1sily asSiuajlatcd
by such plants as the farmer desires to
cultivate.
