Jt will be seen from Table 4 that the natural ‘‘Central” corn which 
had an average moisture content of 18.7 per cent and an average 
acidity of 26.6 c. c. at the time of loading, was badly damaged in 
the upper part of all holds at the time of discharge. The corn was 
hot, discolored, very sour, and badly affected with molds. As is 
shown in figures 3 to 6 and Table 4, the degree of damage, as well 
as the temperature of the corn, gradually decreased toward the bot- 
tom of the holds, where the corn was not discolored, but was notice- 
ably sour and more or less affected with molds. The damaged and 
packed condition of the corn in the upper part of holds 1 and 2 at
