-Having then satisfied der Inds with the , cause, they
will note excited with wonder at seeing indubitable
evidence of fertility eta soil, \which- in our altuationo,
having the. same general bharaderisties, or at least, ap
pearances, is entirely unrernune rt itive except as its pro
ductiveiress is promoted by its artificial fertilization,
A - few words about the quality and value of this land
for.cultivation,mf which we have sore" strong proof.
Our first visit was to William D. - Wilson, in Franklin
township. Gloucester county, who pure asettsome eight
miles uorth of Mil Dille, about three y 'arn ago, for the.
purpose ofestablishing a steam mill, to w rk up the tim
ber
her into lumber, 'to send off by4he new re- hoed, as well
as the tirewoial and coal, for which he built a track one
mile and a half long, He also furnished sixti.\l l iniles of
the road with :les, and had nodoubt-made the fill prbf
(table, though his main object was to seen a farm, hav
ing become convinced that the soil was very vale' hie for
cultivation. In -this lie has not been disappoin ed, as
\
some of his crops prove. For instance, the second One
of cropping, 306 hushels'ef potateca oq o n e a cr e, i s s h
(ill cents a bushel in the field. ThiS .year, seven acts s,
without manure, produced 356 bushels of oats. In oft
field,tlU firstbrop was potatoes,planted among the roots,
and yielded 75 bushels. The potatoes were dug. runt
wheat sown,-and yielded 4 6bushels ; and the stubbiti
curbed under and sown to buckwheat which yielded 33%
bushels; and then the ground' Was sown to- clover and
timothy, which gave as a first crop 2, 1 4• tons per acre.
The fertilizert. applied to these crops were first, asbei
from clearings; second, !I-25 pounds .411 superphosphate
of lime•;-- third, '2OO pounds Peruvian guano ; and - then 10
bushels of slaked Hine has been spread- upon the clover
since it"was mowed, rind turned in fur wheat.
• Mr. Wilsou's growl ii,g crops, and the wheat stubble of
the present season, all indlcate hia,land as productive as
any part of the Stare..
At Mary Barrow's. an old style Jersey woman farmer,
miles south of fil . r. Wilson's, we were So particu
larly struck with the tine appearancii 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 his reply : • '
" Wall, you see we couldn't done that; • 'cause we
hadn't but forty-one horse loads altogether, for Zd acres,
and we wanted the most on't for the truck." •
The truck consisted of beets, carrots, Cabbage, melons,
cucumbers, Az., and a very productive patch of Lima
beans, grown for marketing. So we were satisfied that
the soil was not infertile, even - umilded-by clover, which
had fed the corn, because the - truck pritch"-had not been
ciovered, and had been in cultivation tong enough to olas
literate all signs of the, forest. . •
Our next visit waste the large farm of Andrew Sharp,
five miles north of Mitlville, from half to a mile cast of
the railroad, and just about in the centre of Vinelanil.
Mr. Sharp commenced work here in December, 1558, on
- 270 acres. In less than thee years he hasg:ot 231 acres
cleared and in crops this season, all well inelosed and
' divided into several fields, with cedar rail orpole fence;
has built a two-story, dwelling:about thirty-six or forty
feet, and it smaller hope for farm laborers, and a stable
andgraniwy and some other outbuildings.
Oonoiderable part of the land Was cleared fertile plow
at $9 an acre. and on some of it the first drop was buck
wheat, limed with 50 bushels. in powder per acre.
_This
crop may be put in from July 4th to 20th, indyields from
20 to 30 bushels per acre harvested in Novernb'er, when ,
the land being sowed with 150 pounds of Peruvian guano
and Seeded with rye, yielded 12-to 16 bushels per acre and
$lO worth of straw. The rye stubble turned, after cutting
off a large growth of oak sprouts, and dressed again with
guano and seeded to ivheat, gave 16 or 16 bushels. The
crop`which he was threshing while we were there prom
ises more, of every plump grain, and ,the straw.is very
-
heavy. . .
.. .
We went over the stubble and found the clover:and
timothy,fronl seedaowed last spring, on the wheat with;
out harrowing, looking as well as we ever, Saw it upon
any old cultivated' farm, and with a little work done in
'the winter to clear off some roots and rotten stumps, and
setting stakes to mark permarient..ones,ave will be able
' to cut the crop next' year wi h a mowing niael),lne and we '
*ill guarantee two done per acre, if he will give the over
plus if it overruns. the estimate. • • . -,‘
Dart of thi.Oanci was planted with potatoes for a first
crop, which yielded 120 bushels per acre. It was then
limed with Any bushels per acre, and seeded with wheat
and clover, *yielding an averge of over 15 bushels per
'acre, and the clover- now looks beautiful. . .
Other portions have been plaited with corn as a first
crop, which yielded 30 bushels of yellow Hint corn, and a
second crop 40 bushels, and a third crop, treated to 150
poen& of guano, we are sure no one would estimate less
,than 40 bushels per acre. F , - . .
LThe reader -will recollect the writer is now speaking
of lands perfectly rieyv, and which can scarcely be con
'adored in-good arable condition.)
. In other cases the corn crop of last year was followed
with oats this season, not yet threshed, but will average
probably 40 or 50'hushels. Sweet potato,es, beans, mel
ons, and in fact, all vegetables; as well as young peach
and - other fruit trees planted this year. show very-plainly
• that this long neglected tract ofland should remain Bono
.longer, and there is now a strong probability thatit will
not; for under the auspices of Mr. Landis, it will be mil
