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 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, after il 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 fores
fifty or hundred years ago.
Tho geOlogist would soon discover tn
cause of this continued fertility. Tn
whole country is a marine deposit, and al
through the soil we found evidences O
, calcareous substances, generally in tn
form of indurated calcareous mari, show
8 ing many distinct forms of ancient shells
of the tertiary formation and this mari
substance is scattered all through the sol
? in very comminuted form, and in tn
exact condition most easily assimmilate
by such plants as the farm n desires I
q cultivate. 6en
