Tho following is an extract from a de-
scription of Vineland, published i'm 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 tertilize the whole upland sur
face, after it has been exhausted of its
natural fertility.
1t is certainly one of the most extensive
ferile 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 tie old
est farms apparently just as prodtably
productive as when first cleared Of forest
fifty or a hundred years ago.
The geOlOgist would soon discover the
cause of this continued fertility. The
whole country is a marine deposit, and Al
through the soil we found evidences
calcareous substances, generally in n
form of indurated caleareous mari, Show
ing many distinct forms of ancient shells,
of the tertiary formation; 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 sr desires 10
cultivate. 6sh
