Fig. 6. — Diagram showing the average loss in weight and the average temperature of 

 the four ears of corn in transit from Baltimore to Chicago and return in each of the 

 four experiments, compared with the average loss in weight of the four cars of corn 

 from the same lots that were held on the track at Baltimore and the average moisture 

 content of each of the four lots at the beginning of the experiments.
