Ihe following is an extract from a de-
scriptlon of Vineland, published in the
New York Tribune. by the well-known
AgTiculturist, Solon Robinson:
All the farmers were of the ''well to do'i
sort, and some Of them, who have turned
their attention 10 fruits and market gard
ening, have grown rich. The soil is loan,
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, alter 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 profitably
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 a marine deposit and all
through the soil we found evidences of
caIcareous substances, generally in the
form OF induratod calCareouS mari show
ing many distinct forms of ancient shells,
of tho tertiary fol nation and this marly
substance is scattered all through the soil,
in very ,comminuted form, and in the
exact condition most easily assimmilated
by such plants as the farm ,r desires 70
cultivate. sn
