The following is an extract from de-
| scription of Vineland, published in the
! New York Tribune, by the well-knOWn
| Agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
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, interseeted with small
streams and occasional wet meadows. in
which deposits of peat or muck are stored,
sufficient to fertilize the whole upland sur
face, alter 1t 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 prairies. We found some of the old
est farms apparently just as prohtably
| productive as when first cleared of forest
tifty 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 OF
ealcareous substances, generally in the
form Of indurated caleareOus mari, show
ing many distinct forms of ancient shells,
/ OF the tertiary formation; and this marly
| substance is scattered all through the soil,
| in very comminuted form, and in the
! exact condition most easily assimmilated
! by such plants as the farmer desires 10
| cultivate. ~ Sm
