CARRYING QUALITIES OF EXPORT CORN. 59 
from the bulk corn just under the heat-damaged position, had a 
temperature of 69° F., tested 26.7 c. ¢. in acidity, and germinated 
28 per cent, while sam- 
ple No. 22, taken 
from the corn nearly 
halfway down thehold, 
had a temperature of 
POM on., vested 4.5-C. Cc. 
in acidity, and germi- 
nated 10 per cent. 
Sample No. 50 was the 
only one taken from 
the corn in this hold 
which tested under 30 
€ cm acidity, and 
only two other sam- 
ples, Nos. 21 and 51, 
tested under 40 c. c. in

It will be seen in the table that there was considerable deterioration 
during the voyage in the corn that did not become heat-discolored 
and that the corn which did become heat-discolored was very badly 
damaged.
