The following is an extract from a de-
scription of Vineland, published in the
New York Tribune, by the well-known
Agriculturist, Solon Robinson:
All the farmers were of the "well 10 do''
sort, and some Of them, who have turned
their attention to fruits and market gard
ening, have grown rich. The soil is lOam,
varying from sandy to clayey, and surface
gently undulating intersected with small
streams and occasional wet meadows i'm
which deposits Of peat or muck are stored,
sufficient to fertilize the whole upland sur
face, after it has been exhausted Of its
! natural fertility.
1t is certainly one of the most extensive
| fertile tracts, in an 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 prohtablY
! productive as when first cleared of forest
| fifty or hundred years ago.
The geolOgist would soon discover the
cause Of this continued fertility. The
whole country is Il marine deposit, and all
! through the soil we found evidences of
calcareOus substances, generally i'm the
form of indurated calcareOus mari, show
ing many distinct forms Of ancient Shells
of the tertiary formations; and this marly
/ substance is scattered all through the soil,
! in very cOmminutod form, and in the
! exact condition most easily assimmilated
| by such plants as the farm sr desires to
| cultivate. TIA
