PROMISING PROSPECT ON THE BROWN LANDS.

Crown Point Star: John Brown spent last Sunday at their ranch on the Kankakee, and says he never saw that territory looking so well, the land never having been too wet this spring to work. Their wheat looks well, and promises now to yield 6,900 bushels when harvested. They have nearly 1,200 acres ready to plant to corn, and will start their planters May Ist. A hundred and fifty acre field sowed to oats also looks extra good, and the general outlook for farming on the Kankakee seems far better than ever before. u
