The following is an extract from descrip
ton of Vineland, published in the New York
Tribune, by the We'll know Agfculturist,
Scion Robinson
All the farmers were of the swell to do
sort, and scme of them, who have turned
their attention to fruits and market garden
ing, have grown rich. The soil is loan,
varying from sandy to clayey, and surface
gently undulatmg, intersected with small
streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits of peat or muck are stored,
sufficient to fertalize the whole upland sur.
face, after it has been exhausted GIFTS natural
fertility.
1t is certainly one of the most extensive
tracts, in an almost level position, and suit
able condition for pleasant farming, that we
know of this side OF the Western prairies -
We found some of the Oldest farms apparent
ly Just as protitably productive as when
cleared of forests fifty or hundred years ago
The geologist would soon discover the
cause OF this continued fertility The whole
r1untry is marine deposit. and all through
the soil we found evidences Of calcareous
substances, generally III the form of indura
ted calcareous marl showing many distinc
forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary for
nation and this marty substance is scatter
ed all through the soil, in a very commercials
form, and in the exact condition most easily
assimiated by such plonts as the farmer
desires to cultivate. ilS2lmS]
