Report of Solon Robinson,
OF THI NEW YORK TRIBI - NN, UPON TKIS
VINELAND BET TLE EIEN T•
VW- The following is an extrart from the report
of Solon Robinson, Esq., published in the New York
Tribune, in reference to Vineland. All persons can
re:,d this report with interest.
Advantages of Farming near Home—Vineland—Re
marks upon Marl—Soil, its great Fertility—The
Cause of Fertility --Amount of Crops Produced—
Practical Evidence. •
It ie certainly one of the moat betensise fertile treas.
in an almost keel, position, and agitate eonslition for
pleasant farming duct we know of this side of the weer
ern prairies. Wre found some of the oldest farms appar
ently just as profitable pioditetitie os when first cleared
of forest fifty or a hundred ysors ego.
The geologist would soon , discover the cause of tbie
continued fertility. The whole country is a marine
deposit., and all through the soil we found evidences
of calcareous substances, generally in the form of
indurated ealeareous marl, showing many distinct
forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary formation ;
and this manly substance is scatteked all through the
soil, in a very euniminuted form, and in the exact
condition most easily assimilated by such plants as
the farmer desires to cultivate.
Marl, in all its forms, has been used to fertilize
crops in Englandi from the time it was occupied by
the Romans; and in France and Germi.ny a marl
bed is counted on as a 'valuable bed 44 manure, that
can be dug` and carted and spread over the field.—
How much more vat:Mile Wu' it Must be, when found
already mixed through, the soil, where new particles will
be turned up and ezposeq, dnd transformed to the owner's
we every time he sari the earth,
Haying
,thsn sati sfied our minds of the cause, they
will not be ex'cit ' ed with wonder at seeing indubitable
-ividenee of• fertiliiy id • a soil' which in other situa
tions, having the same general characteristics or at
leibt appearancei, is - entirelyunrenutnerative except
as ittfproduciiTedeiti is \promoted by artificial fertil
ization.
A few words about The quality and value of this
lanu for cultivation, of which We 'have some strong
proof.
Our first Visit wiia to William D. Wilson. Franklin
township, Gloucester county, who purchased soma
oight miles north of Molville,,about three years age,
Tor the purpose of establishing ale Sin mill, to work
up the timber into lumber, to send off by , the new
roam:W, as well as the firewood: and coal, for which
he built a branch track a mile a nd a half Ling. H.
also furnished sixteen miles of the road with ties,
and has no doubt made the mill profitable, though
his main object was to .open a farm, having become
convinced soil watovaltiable for cultivation.
In this-het.has. nut been disappointed, as some of his
,oropir, prove. For humus, last year, the second
time of cropping, 806 bushel! of potatoes on one
acre, worth 60 fonts a bushel in the field. This year
seven acres, without manure, produced 856 bushels
of oats. In one - field,' the first crop was potatoes,
planted among -ibis rob's. and yielded 75 bushels.—
The Potatoei; were dug, and wheat sown, and yield
ed 26 bushels '
- and'th e s tubble turned under and
sown .to buokwheat,' which yielded 33i bushels :
and then theground was sown to clover and timothy,
which. gave as a first ;crop 2 tons per acre.
The fertilizers applied to these crops were first,
ashes from clearings; second, 225 pounds of super
phosphate of lime; third, 200 Teoundo Peruvian gu
ano; then 50 bushels 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. hiy part of the State.
• At Mary Barrdw's,..an, old' style Jersey vansan
farmer, several-miles south of Mr. Wilson's, we were
60 particularly strut:hi with the fine appearance of a
field of corn, that we stopped to inquire of the hirwt
mint bdw it Was pit:dulled. We found that the land
lied; been liielyeir `but> one before 'wheat; sewn
-with clover,land dhis cut one season, and last spring
plowed on'ce;'ivith one "poor old riag," and planted

of Lime beans, grown for marketing. So we were
satisfied that the soil was not infertile, even unaided
by clover, which had fed the ma, because the "truck

COnSideritble part of the - land viad cleared for the
'OW at - rut:fere, and on some of it the first crop
was hue whaat, limed with 50 buithels 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 'lsolbs
of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded 12
to .Ifibusliels per acre and $lO worth of straw. The
ryeatubble turned. after knocking off a largo growth
of oak sprouts, and dressed again , with gunno and
seeded to wheat, gave lfi or 16 bushels. The crop
