Hold 6 was a little 
more than half filled 
withcorn. Theupper 
part of the corn be- 
came badly heat 
damaged. The corn 
in this hold as dis- 
charged ranged from 
68% bor 122.9 0K. gen 
temperature, 27.5 to 
43.4 c. c. in acidity, 
0 to 61 per cent In ger- 
mination, 0 to 84.8 
per cent in sound 
kernels, and 48 to 
53.8 pounds in test 
weight per bushel. 
The corn at the sur- 
face, where the heat 
could escape, had a 
temperature of 72° 
F. when discharged, 
as is shown by sam-
