1 Average jor the hold. 
As is seen from cross section of hold 1, in figure 36, the corn in 
this hold as discharged ranged in temperature from 138° F. near 
the surface to 59° F. in the lower part of the hold. The heat- 
discolored corn extended from the surface to a little over one-fourth 
down in the hold. The two samples taken from the heat-discolored 
corn, sample No. 25 from a short distance below the surface and 
sample No. 1 from the lower portion of the hot corn, had tempera- 
tures of 138° and 135° F. and tested 36.4 and 48.6 c. c. in acidity. 
None of the kernels in either sample would germinate. Only one 
sample taken from the corn that was not heat-discolored tested 
under 30 c. c. in acidity. This sample, No. 28, was taken about 7 
feet from the bottom of the hold. It had a temperature of 59° F.,
