CARRYING QUALITIES OF EXPORT CORN. 71 
TEMPERATURE CHANGES DURING THE VOYAGE AND CONDITION OF THE CORN AS 
DISCHARGED. 
During the voyage the temperature of the corn in the various 
positions of stowage was recorded each day that the weather per- 
mitted. The location of the various thermometers and the changes 
in temperature at those positions are shown in figures 48 to 53, 
inclusive. The max- 
imum temperatures 
found in the corn as 
discharged were 146° 
F.in hold 2,141° F. 
in hold 3, 147° F. in 
hold 5, and 122° F. 
in hold 6. These 
were higher than 
the maximum tem- 
peratures at the 
time of loading by 
(9G; 75°. F., 82° 
Bejjand.58°; F.,  re- 
spectively. During 
the time that the 
corn was in the ves- 
sel a large propor- 
tion of it became 
hot, discolored, 
moldy, and _ badly 
damaged. The corn 
changed the most in 
condition and _ he- 
came badly damag- 
ed in the upper part 
of the holds. The 
temperature and 
degree of deteriora- 
tion, in a general 
way, decreased from 
the surface of the 
corn toward the bot- 
tom of theholds. It

will be seen in the accompanying charts that the temperature of the 
corn reached 100° F. in the following number of days after sailing. 
Three days in hold 2, 44 days in hold 3, 8 days in hold 5, 16 days 
in hold 6. As has already been stated, the average length of time 
that the corn remained in the vessel was 39 days.
