The following is an extract from . do
scription of Vineland, published In tho
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 ioam,
varying from sandy 10 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 il has been exhausted OF its
natural fertility.
It 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 prOfitably
productive as when first cleared of forest
tifty 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
caieareous substances, generally Ina tho
Iortn 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 sci,
in very eOmminuted form, and in the
exact condition most easily AsEimmilatsd
