| 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 to 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 in
! which deposits of peat or muck are stored
sufficient to fertiliZe the whole upland sur
! face, after it has been exhausted of itl
natural fertility.
1t is certainly one of the most extensiv,
| 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 proftably
| productive as when first cleared of fOres
fifty or hundred years ago.
The geolOgist would soon discover tn,
cause of this continued fertility. Tn,
whole country is marine deposit, and al
through the soil we found evidences o
calcareOus substances, generally in tn,
form of indurated calcareous mari, show
ing many distinct forms Of ancient shells
Of the tertiary formation; and this marll
substance is scattered all through the soil
in very conminuted form, and in tn
exact condition most easily assimmilatet
by such plants as the farm ,r desires L
cultivate. TN
