IRWIN Report of Solon Robinson, OT Tut: NEB' TURK TRIBUNE, UPON TUE VINELAND SETTLEMENT AttD- The following is en extract from the report of Solon Robinson, Esq., published in the New York 'T'ribune, in reference to Vineland. All persons Can reed this report with interest. Advantages of Farming near Home—Vineland—Re marks upon hlarl—Soil. its great Fertility—The Cause of Fertility—Amount of Crops Produced— Practical Evidence. It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile frae4s, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming that we know of this side of the west ern prairies. Ire found some of the oldest farms appar ently just as profitable productive as when f irst 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 ell through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary formation and this manly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plasants the farmer desires to cultivate. Marl, in all its forms, has been used to fertilize crops in England, from the time it was occupied by the Romans; and in France and Germt.ny a mar., bed is counted on as a valuable bed of manure, that can be dug and carted and spread over the field.— How much more valuable then it must be, when found alreddy mixed through the soil; where new particles wal be turned upand exposed, ansi transformed to the owner's use every time he stirs the earth. Having then-satisfied our minds. of thecause, they will not. be excited witliwonder at seeing indubitable evidence of fertility in a soil which in other situa4 tions, having the same general characteristics or at least appearances, is entirely unrenumerative except as its produetivenesa is promoted by artificial fertil ization. A !'ew words about the quality and value of thi lanu for cultivation, of whioh we have some stroll. proof. Our first. visit was to William D. Wilson, FratiklP. township, Gloucester county, who purchased son. eight. miles north of Millville, about.three years agt.. for the purpose of establishing a steam mill, to wort up the timber into lumber, to Send off by the not railroad; as well as the firewood and coal, for whick he .built a branch track a mile and a half long. Bt also furnished sixteen miles of the road with tie and has no doubt made the mill profitable, thew, his main object was to open a farm, having beam, convinced, that the soil was valuable for cultivation In this he has not been disappointed, as some of hi, crops prove. For inst.ance,•last year, the secon time of cropping, 306 bushels of potatoes on one acre, worth 60 cents a bushel in the field. This year seven acres, without manure, produced 356 bushels of oats. In one field, the first crop was potatoes, planted among the roots, and yielded 75 bushels.--r The potatoes were dug, and wheat sown, and yield ed 16 bushels ; and the stubble turned under and sown to buckwheat, which yielded 33.1. bushels; and then the ground was sown to clover and timothy, which gave as a first crop 2+ tons per acre. The fertillzers applied to these crops were first, ashes from clearings: second, 225 pounds of super phosphate of lime; third, 200 pounds Peruvian gu ano; then 50 blishels of slaked lime has been spread upon the clover since it was mowed, and turned in for wheat. Mr. Wilson's growing crops, and the wheat stub ble of the present season, all indicate his land as productive as any part of the State. At Mary Barrow's, an old style Jersey woman farmer, several miles south of Mr. Wilson's, we were so particularly struck with the fine appearance of a field of corn, that we stopped to inquire of the hired Man how it was produced. We found that the land had been the year, but one before in wheat, sown with clover; and this cut one season, and last spring plowed once, with one "poor old nag," and planted with corn:- "Yes, but. you manured high. we suppose ?" we said interrogatively, and got. this reply : "Waal, you see, we couldn't a done that ; 'cause we hadn't hut. forty one-horse loads altogether, for 23 acres, and we wanted the most on't for the truck. The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbage, cucumbers, melons, &c . ., and a very productive patch of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we ware satisfied that, the soil was net infertile, even unaided by cloverovhich had fed the ecru, becausethe "truck patch" had not been in cultivation long enough to obliterate all signs of the forest. • Our neat visit was to the large farm of Andrew Sharp, five miles north of Millville, from half to a, mile east. of the railroad, and just about in the cen tre of Vineland. Mr. Sharp commenced work hers in December. 1858, upon 270 acres. In less than three years. lie has got 234 acres cleared and in crops this season, as well inclosed and divided into several fields, with cedar rail or pole fence ; has built. a two-story dwelling, about. 36 by 40 feet, and a smaller house for farm laborers, and a stable and granary and some other out. buildings. Considerable part. of -the land was cleared for the plow at $6 an acre. and on some of it the first crop was buokwheat, limed with 50 bushels in powder per acre. This crop may be put in July 4th to 20th, and yields 20 to 30 bushels per acre, harvested in November ; when the land being sowed with 150Ibs of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded 12 to 15 bushels per acre and $lO worth of straw. The ryeistubble turned, after knocking off a large growth of oak sprouts, and dressed again with guano anti seeded to - wheat, gave 15 or 16 bushels.
