The following is an extract from descrlp
ton of Vineland, published in the New York
Tribune, by The we'll know Agriculturist,
Scion Robinson : >,
All the farmers were of the swell to do -
sort, and some 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 unduatmg, intcrsected with small
Streams and occasional wet meadows, in
which deposits of peat or muck are stored,
sufficient to fertalizc the whole upland sur
face after it has been exhausted Oft 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 prairics,-
We found some of the oldest farms apparent
ly Just as proftably productive as when
cleared of forests fifty or 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 indura
ted calcareous mari, showing, MANY dlstinc
forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary for
nation and this marty substance is scatter
ed all through the SOIL in 4 very commercia-
form, and in the exact condition most easily
assimilated by such plants as the farmer
desires to cultivate. ilS2lmSl
