The Brown estate north and east of Shelby this year produced on 800 acres of wheat an average of 32 bushels per acre, and the crop was sold for an even $1 per bushel. There is also several thousand acres of corn on this estate that bids fair to make 40 to 50i bushels per acre. Probably there is no section of Indiana in which such a wonderful transformation has been wrought in the past five years as in this particular section, since the extensive open drainage and dykes have been built through and along the 14;000 acres owned by the Browns. ,
