Fic. 6.—Diagram showing the average loss in weight and the average temperature of 
the four cars of corn in transit from Baltimore to Chicago and return in each of the 
four experiments, compared with the average loss in weight of the four cars of corn 
from the same lots that were held on the track at Baltimore and the average moisture 
content of each of the four lots at the beginning of the experiments. 
with the average moisture content. These same factors are also 
shown diagrammatically in figure 6.
