DEPABTMBNT OF STATISTICS.
SWITZERLAND COUNTY.
This is the extreme southeastern county of the State. It is 100 miles souths
east of Indianapolis, and 75 miles southwest of Cincinnati. Its area is 221 square
mlleS) and the population, in 1880, was 13,336, and in 1885, it was estimated to be
13,540. Its southern and eastern boundary is the Ohio River. It is traversed by
a number of small creeks and streams. The surface of that part of the county-
bordering on the river and some of the streams, is level; back of this comes a
succession rugged, fertile hills. This is followed by broken uplands, and then that
part modt remote from the river is mainly wet flats, upon which the water stands-
for most of the year. Upon the broken uplands and river hills fruit of all kinds,
is grown with success, and on the rich river bottoms abundant crops of com and
hay are raised. The latter is shipped in large quantities to the southern markets.
The fruit interests are perhaps the principal source of wealth to the county, as the
soil and climate are adapted to it. A good system of under-draining and culture
will increase its agricultural interests. A good quality of blue limestone suitable
for foundations is plentiful, and what is known as Kentucky marble is found in
the county. It is susceptible of a high polish, and is used in monuments.
Good clay for the manufacture of brick and pottery is also found. Farm land
averages about $30 an acre in selling price. The county has no railroads, but the
Ohio furnishes to it good facilities for reaching the markets. The health has al-
ways been good. There are in operation 2,100 rods of drain tile. Taxable value
of property, $3,053,530.
ScHOOi^. — Switzerland County has a total school population of 4,584, with 76
school houses, and gives employment to 95 teachers. The total number of pupils
admitted to the schools in 1886 was 3,435; average attendance 2,553, and average
length of school term, 112 days. The estimated value of school houses and ground^,
is $51,550; of school apparatus, $2,230, making the total value of school property
$53,780. The local tax for tuition purposes in 1886 was 10 cents on each $100 and
25 cents on each poll, and yielded $2,931 ; the special school tax was 20 cents on
each $100 and 26 cents on each poll, yielding $7,008.16, and the total tuition reve-
nue from all sources $27,996.86. The indebtedness for school purposes outstand-
ing July 31, 1886, was $351.()5.

afford many excellent miU sites.
This county is one of the most fertile in the State. The soil is generally a
rich, black*loam, from two to four feet in depth, on a stratum of clay. It raises
excellent crops of all the cereals. About one-tenth of the county is bottom lands ;.
the remainder is about equally divided between prairie and uplands. The surface
is gently undulating, with the exception of along the Wabash, where it is hilly.
Near Lafayette, the county seat, is situated Purdue University, the agricultural
college of the State, The county has five railroads, with a mileage of 103.84

TIPTON COUNTY
U in the central part of the State, 30 miles north of Indianapolis. It has an area
of 260 square miles, and in 1880 a population of 14,407, and, as estimated in 1885,.
of 16,989. The county is traversed by a number of creeks, which flow through
every part of it, and supply an abundance of water for agricultural purposes.
The surface is generally level, but the soil, which is an unvarying black muck,.,
is very fertile, and all it needs is the proper drainage to produce abundant crops
of all the grains. This has received the attention demanded, and during the last
seven or eight years there has been a great deal of drainage done.
There is no waste land in the county. There is considerable timber remaining
of the heavy forests which originally covered the county, and it is a source of
great profit. Tipton County is pre-eminently an agricultural county, and its soil
yiel -6 handsome profits to the intelligent farmer. Hogs and cattle are the live
stock which have been raised with most profit. The raising of poultry is a good
investment.
The fruits do moderately well. Improved farm lands rangfe in selling price
from $40 to $50, and unimproved $25 to $35 an acre. The county has three rail-
roads, with a mileage of 45.11 miles, and give it easy access to the markets. The
health has been greatly improved by drainage. There are now 410,789 rods of
drain tile in operation. Taxable value of property, $4,250,430.
Schools. — Tipton County has a total school population of 6,161, with 82
sohools, and gives employment to 98 teachers. The total number of pupils ad-
mitted to the schools in 1886 was 4,561 ; average attendance, 3,063, and average
length of school term 118 days. The estimated value of school ho tses and grounds
is $72,250; of school apparatus, $2,425, making the total value of school property
$74,675. The local tax for tuition purposes in 1886 was 10 cents on each $100 and
25 cents on each poll, and yielded $4,626.17 ; the special school tax was 26 cents on
each $100 and 50 cents on each poll, yielding $9,107.79, and the total tuition rev-
enues from all sources $37,672.84. The indehtedness for school purposes out-
standing July 31, 1886, was $5,274.82.
