The following is an extract from a de-
scriptiou Of Vineland, published in the
New York Tribune, by the we'll known
| Agriculturist, Scion Robinson.
All the farmers were of the Hwell to
| do sort, and some Of them, who have
turned their attention TO fruits and mar
ket gardening, have grown rich. The
soil is loan, varying from sandy to clay
ey, and surface gently undulating, inter
sected with small streams and occasional
wet meadows, in which deposits of peat
or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilze
the whole upland surface, after it has
been exhausted of its natural fertility.
II Is certainty Ohe OF the most eAten-
sive tracts, in an almost level position,
and suitable condition for pleasant farm
ing. that we know of this side of the
Western prairies. We found some of the
oldest farms apparently just proftably
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 marine deposit, and
all through the soil we found evidences
OF calcareous substances, generally in the
form Of indurated cslcareous mari, show
ing many distinct forms Of ancient shells,
of the tertiary formation; and this marty
substance is scattered all through the soil,
in q very comininuted form, and in the
exact condition most easily assimilated
by such plants as the farmer desires to
cultivate. Ljuly2l-8m
