Excerpt from Tide Marshes of the United States The reclamation of salt marshes near Newark, N. J attracted no lit. Tle attention some fifteen years ago, and it is not thought needful to add to what has been published (in the report of the Department of Agriculture for 1870, the annual report of the State geologist of New Jersey, and elsewhere) on that subject. Southward, to Cape May, are immense stretches of salt marshes, and along a few of the rivers no inconsiderable tracts of fresh tide marsh lying waste. In the northern part they are exposed to such storm tides as will for a long time preclude general reclamation. Farther south they are protected by sandy beaches, which are separated by bays and lagoons from the mainland. Here the tidal action is generally small, and more or less of the drainage water must be lifted by machinery if they are reclaimed. The marshes have never been subdivided to any such extent as in New England, and may be purchased at prices which will warrant their improvement.
