Two Things a Com
' Crib Must, Do
The first thing that a corn
crib should afford is thorough
ventilation to the stored grain.
To secure this, leave the sides
as open as po-siMe, and divide
the crib into small Dins.
The second thin? that a corn
crib should atYord is protection
from driving rains and snows.
This can be easily done by ex
tending the caves well down
over the sides.
Corn is one of our leading
crops. So there is no more im
portant building on the farm
than the corn crib. We can
help you build, the rigjit kind
rf mm crib heln vou with
ideas,, and supply you the ne
cessary materials. v,an on us
any time
that suits
you.
