Advantages of Fanning near Home—Vineland—Re
marks upon Marl—Soil. its great. Fertility—The
Cause of Fertility—Amount of Crops Produced—
Practical Evidence.
It is certainly one of the most extrnsire fertile tracts,
in an almost level position, and suitable condition for
pleasant farming that we know of this side of the west
ern prairies. We found some of the oldest farms appar
ently/ just as prqfilalie ' vroductive as when first cleared
of forest fifty or a hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover theettuse of this
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 calcareous marl, showing many distinct
forms of ancient shells, of the tertiary formation ;
and this marly substance is scattered all through the
soil, in a very comminuted 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 England, from, the. time it was occupied by
the Romans; and in France and Gernu.ny a marl
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
already mixed through the, soil, where new particles will
be turned up and exposed, and transformed to the owner's
use every time he stirs the earth.
Having then satisfied our minds.of thecause, they
will not.be excited with wonder at seeing indubitable
,evidence of fertility in a Soil which in other situa
tions, having the same general characteristics or at
least- appearances, is entirely unrenumerative except
as its productiveness is promoted by artificial fertil
ization.
'ew words about the quality and value of this
lan. for cultivation, of which we have some strong
proof.
Our first visit was to William D. Wilson, Franklin
township, Gloucester county, who purchased soul°
eight milmnorth 'MUNIIIe, about three years ago,
for the purpose of establishing a steam mill, to work
up the timber into lumber, to send off by the new
railroad, as well as the Arewood and coal, for which
he built a branch track a mile and a half long. He
also furnished sixteen nines 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 that the soil was valuable for cultivation.
In this-he has net been 'disappointed, as some of his
orop"s .Prove. For' instance, last. year, the second
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, miles In one, field, the first crop was potatoes,
planted among the roots, and yielded 75 bushels.—
The potatoes were dug, and wheat sown, and yield
ed 16 bushels and the stubble turned under and
sown to Vita:Wheat, - which yielded 331 bushels;
and then'theground was sown to clover and-timothy,
which gave as a first crop 2,1 tons per acre.
The fertilizers applied to these crops were first,
ashes•frent clearifigs% second, 225 polls of super
phosphate,of lime ;:third, 200 nound, Pe avian go
thetCso bushels of slaked lime'ha., ueen spread
upon the clover since it "was mowed, and turned in
for wheat.
Mr. Wilson's growing crops, end 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,seveial miles south of Mr. Wilson's, we were
so particularly struck with the fine appearance of a
field of .corn thatwe stopped to inquire of the hirt
man'how it was produced. We found that the land
. ,
had been the year but one' before in wheat, sown
with clever; 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 V' we
Mildinterrogatively, and got this reply:—
"Waal,, you.see, we couldn't a done that ; 'cause
we hadril. hot -forty onezhorse loads altogether, for
23 acres ; end we wanted tine most. on't for tho meek.
The Amok consisted of beets, carrots, cabbage,
cucumbers, melons, &c., and a very productive patch
of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we were
satisfied that the soil was not '..afertile, even unaided
by clover, Ishich had fed the cm n, becausethe "truck
patelf i ' had nkt . been in, eultivatiat, long enough. to
signs clf the. forest,
Our next visit was to the large :TAMP of Andrew
Slur ;fire.niiles'north frOni half to a
mile ekst. of the railroad, and just: about' in the cen
tre of Vineland. 14. r. Sliarp i Commenced work hers
in_December, 185 t, upon 210' acre's. In less than
three qears,.4,.bas got 234 aeree, cleared and in
crops this season, as well inclosed. and divided into
seTerar Kelds, 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 'itit e,. and on some of it the first crop
was buckwheat, limed with 50 bushels in powder
Per.ncre. This crop may be put. in July 4th to 20th,
rind yields 20 to 30 bushels per acre, harvested in
Ishivernber ; when the land being sowed with 1501bs
of Peruvian guano and seeded with rye, yielded 12
to 15 bushels per acre and $lO worth of straw. The
rye:stubble turned: after knocking off a large growth
of oak sprouts, and dressed again with guano and
seeded to wheat, gate 14 or 13 bushels. The crop
- high Was threshing while' we were there promi
ses more, of 'a very plump grain, and the straw is
very heavy.: , • -
We went 'ovei the stubble, and found the clover
and, timothy, from seed sowed last spring, on the
wheat without harroWing. looking as well as we ever
saw it upon any old cultivated farm, and with a lit
tle work done in the winter to clear off some roots
and rotten stumps, and setting stakes to mark per
manent. ones, he will be able to cut the crop the next
year with. a mowing machine, and we will guarantee
two .tani per acre, if he will give the overplus if ti fiver_
runsthe estimate. ,
Part of the land was planted with potatoes for a
first crop, which yielded 120 buahels per acre. It
was thertlinied with 60 bushels per-acre. and seeded
with,wbeat and clover, yielded and average of over
13 liiikels per acre, and the clover now looks beau-
Other portions have been planted with corn as a
first crop. which yielded 30 bushels of yellow f_lnt
corn,and the second crop 40 bushels, and the third
crop, treated to 1501bs. of guano, we are sure no
one would 'estitnale below 40 bushels per acre.
[The reader will recollect that the writer is now
speaking of land 'Perfectly new, and which can
scarcely be considered in good arable condition
En.]
.
Itt other cases, the corn crop of last year was fol
lowed with.batsthi'S Season, not yet threshed, but
will average probably 40 to 50 bushels. Sweet po
tatoes'. beans. melons, and, in fiat, all garden veg.
etWes n as well as young peach and other fruit
trees planted this year show very plainly that this
longneglected tract of land should remain so no
longer, and there is now a strong probability that
it.will not ; for under the auspices of Mr. Landis.
it will he divided into small lots. with roads located
