Mr. Ladou is about to commence husking and wants to know what you design to do about a Crib the one there is quite to small to hold the Corn and it is the general impression that Corn will bear a good price by the time that is dry enought to shell It is now north of fifty cents and that is about double the price that new Corn Sells for at the time of husking I would like to have you get the most that you can for you have had very little from the farm for the past two years.
