GENERAL FARM PRACTICES AND CONDITIONS. 
SURVEYS IN TIPTON COUNTY, IND. 
The tillage records for Indiana were taken in the central part of 
Tipton County (Table X). This is in the corn-belt prairie section 
(fig. 1, A). The soil is a siltv clay loam about 8 inches deep with a 
heavier clay-loam subsoil. The soils are dark brown to almost black 
in color and are very productive, especially the darker type. The 
country is very flat and appears as a continuous plain. 
Many improvements have been made in this county. Practically 
all the land has been tile drained, the farmers having cooperated in 
establishing central drainage systems to dispose cf the water. Ex- 
ceptionally good roads are maintained. Every section line is a public 
road and nearly all the roads have been graveled. A system of cen- 
tral schools has been established to take the place of the local county 
schools. The land is worked mainly by the owners. The farmers 
live in good houses and have well-kept barns and outbuildings, which 
give to the country a very prosperous appearance. 
The farm practices for the section are very uniform. Most farm- 
ers maintain a general rotation of corn one year, wheat or oats one 
year, and hay or pasture one or two years. Some timothy is grown, 
but most of the hay is clover. Considerable truck, such as garden 
peas, tomatoes, and sweet corn, is grown for the canning factories.
