BOONE COUNTY.
JACKSON TOWNSHIP.
JACKSON TOWNSHIP contains about 48 square miles, and is lo- cated in the southwest corner of the county. The greatest part of the township is level. The soil is generally very rich, and produces Indian corn, rye, oats and wheat in great abun- dance. It is also the very best of grass land, and only requires time and perseverance on the part of its inhabitants to make it a land flowing with every needful thing. There are already many fine farms in it, managed by truly intelligent farmers. There are, however, many spots of land in the township that need ditching to bring it to a perfect state of cultivation. Es- pecially is this the case with the northern portion of the town- · ship. The timber of Jackson township is of good quality and very plentiful. Originally the forests of oaks, elms, poplars, ash, sugar maples, beeches and other kinds of timber were very dense. The best of the oaks, walnuts and other sorts are now being very rapidly hewn down for the market. Large numbers of staves and saw-logs are shipped out of the township. Im- provements in the way of buildings and farm culture are up with other parts of the country, considering the newness of the settlements.
