The following is an extract from a de~
scriptlon of Vineland, published in the
Now 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 10 fruits and market gard
ening, have grown rich. The soil is ioam,
varying from sandy TO clayey, and surface
gently undulating, intersected with small
streams and occasional wet meadows in
which deposits of peat or muck are stored
sufficient To fertilize the whole upland sur
face, after it has been exhausted of it's
natural fertility.
1t is certainly one of the most extensive
fertile tracts, in am 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 prOftablV
productive as when first cleared of forest
hity 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 i'm the
form OF indurated calcareOus mari, show
ing many distinct forms Of ancient shells,
OF the tertiary formation; and this marly
substance is scattered all through the sol,
IN very eomminuted form, and in the
exact condition most easily assimmilated
