48 BULLETIN 764, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 
along the bottom, the corn became badly damaged over and along 
the starboard tunnel. This is illustrated in figure 30. It will be seen 
in the cross section of hold 4 that samples Nos. 30 and 36, which were 
taken from the corn a short distance above the starboard tunnel, had a 
temperature of 132 and 128° F. and tested 36 and 46 c. c. in acidity. 
The corn in both samples had lost all vitality and was badly discolored. 
Compared to these, samples Nos. 37, 38, and 39, which were taken in 
the starboard tank from about thesame height, butsomedistance away, 
did not exceed 65° F. in

sample No. 35, which

corn, had a temperature

No. 29, which was also 
taken from above this 
tunnel, but near thesur- 
face of the corn, had a 
temperature of 90° F.

from the cross sections of these holds. Sample No. 49, which was

hold 5, had a temperature of 119° F., and an acidity of 37 c. c., while 
sample No. 47, taken from directly above it, near the surface of the 
corn, had a temperature of only 47° F., and an acidity of 21 c. c., and
