The following is am 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 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
sunlclent to tertiliZe the whole upland sur
face, after 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
crn prairies. We found some of the old
est farms apparently Just as proftably
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 n marine deposit, and all
through the soil we found evidences of
calcareous substances, generally i'm the
form OF indWated calcareOus mari, show
.NM HHH..
of the tertiary formation; and this marlv
substance is scattered all through the soil
in very comminuted form, and in tho
exact condition most easily assimmilated
by such plants as the farm ~ desires to
cultivate. t-u
