kdvantages of Farming near Hanle—Vineland-4W
marks upon Marl—Soil. its great Fertility—The
Cause of Fertility—Amount of Crops Traduced--
It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts,
in an almost level position, and suitable condition for
pleasant farming that we know of this side of th e west
ern prairies. We found some of the oldest farms appar
ently just as profitable productive as when first cleared
of forest Affy or a hundred years ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause 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 ninny 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 plasmas
the fariner 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 GermLny a marl
bed is counted on as a valuable bed of manure, that
can be dug and carted and spread over the field.—
Hots much more valuable then it must be, • . .echen found
already mixed through•the soil, where new' particles will
be turned up and exposed, and transformed to the owner'♦
use every time he stirs the earth.
Having then satisfied our minds of theeause, 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.
A :'ew words about the quality and value of this
an. for cultivation, of whiCh we have some strong
proof.
Our first.visit was to 'William I:l:,..Wilson, Franklin
township, Gloucester county, who purchased some
eight miles north of hlillville about three years ago,
for the ptirptise of establishing a steam mill, to work
up the titaber, into d lumber, to sendoff by the new
railroad, as well as thefirewood and coal, for which
he built a branch track a mile and a half long. le
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 that. the soil was valuable for cultivation.
In this he has not been disappointed, as some of his
crops prove. For instance, last year, the second
time of cropping, 355 bushels of potatoes on one
acre, worth 60 eents a bushel in the field. This year
seven acres, without manure, produced 356 bushel.
of oats. 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 113,busliels ; and the'stubble turned under anti
sown, to, biickwheat, which yielded 331 bushels;
and then theground was sown to clover and timothy,
whielt.gave as a first. crop 21 tons per acre.
The fertilizers applied to these crops were first,
ashes front clearings; second, 225 pounds of super
phosphate of lime; third, 200 pounds 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 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 9.
field of corn, that we stopped to inquire of the hires
man bow it was produced. We found that the land
had been the year but one before in wheat. sown
with clover, and this out one season, and lest 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
you see, *e couldn't a done that • 'cause
we hada t but forty one-horsh loads artogehiCt, fbr
23 acres, and we wanted-the most en't' for thetraek.
The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbage,
'cucumbers, melons, Ste., and a very productive patch
of Lima beans, grown for marketing. So we were
satisfied that the soil was not iafertile, even unaide4
by clOver,- which had: ed the corn, because - the "truck
patch" bad not. been in oultivativa long enough to
- obliterate all signs of the forest.
Our-next -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 here
in December. 1858, upon 270 acres. In less than
three years. he 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 90 feet, and
a smaller house for farm laborers, and a stable and
4•ran'ary•and some other-out buildings:
Considerable part of the hind was cleared for the
'plow at $9 an acre. and on sonic of it the first crop
• was buckwheat, tinted with 50 bushels in powder
-per acre. This crop maybe put in July 4th to 20th,
and-yields- 20 to •30-bushels per acre, harvested in
November . ; , when the -land - being sowed with 1501bs
of Pertivian•guano and Seeded-with rye, yielded 12

rylitubbleturned, after knocking off a large growth

year with. a mowing machine, _and we will guarantee

Other portions have been planted with corn es a
