The following is description of Vineland
published IN the New York Tribune, by tn
well known agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
All of the farmers were OF the ''well to do
sort, and some of them, who have turned thei
attention to fruits and market gardening, hav
grown rich. The soil is loan, varying froI
sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulatine
intersected with small streams and occasions
wet meadows, in which deposits of peat or muc
are stored, sufficient to fertilize the whole uI
land surface, after it has been exhausted of il
natural fertility.
II is certainly Of the most extensive tracts,
almost IeUet position, and suitable condition il
pleasant farming that are kl0tC of This side of II
Western prdirieS. lPe found some of the oldest farm
apparently just as protdbly productive achen fir
cleared OF forest fifty or hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause
this continued feltility. The whole country
a marine deposit, and all through the soil v
found evidences of calcareous substances, ge
orally in the form of calcareous mari, shown
many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the te
tiary formation; and this nadrly substance Is see
tered all through the soil in uery comniRuted for
and in the eract condition most easily dSSimiLated
such plants as the farmer desires to casltirdte.
