whole upland surface, after IL has been
exhausted OF its natural fertility.
1t certainly one Of the most extensive
tracts, in I'm almost level position. and sui

farms apparently just n prohtably prOduc-

ahundred years ago.
The geOlOgist would soon discover the
cause Of this continued fertility. Tho
whole country isa marine deposit, and all
through the soil We found evidences OF
calcareOds substances, generally Ia the
form of indurated calcarcOus mari, show

Of the tertiary formation; and this marty
substance j. scattered all through the SOL,
in very comminuted form, and Ia the
exact condition most easily assimi lated
by such plants as the farmer desires TO
cultivate.
