STORAGE EXPERIMENTS WITH CARLOAD LOTS OF MEAL MILLED MAY 23, 1913. 
DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSES OF THE MEAL AS MILLED. 
This experiment was carried out with carload lots (40 tons) of 
undried and highly dried meal. The meal was packed in 100-pound 
cotton sacks. As it was impracticable to mix thoroughly all of the 
meal of each lot, one ton (20 bags) was taken out for subsequent 
sampling, turned over on a floor with a shovel until uniform, and 
rebagged. One of these bags furnished the sample at the end of each 
period at each of the cities where the meal was stored. In both the 
cars and storage warehouse these sample bags were kept in the middle 
of the pile with bags of the same lot on all sides. Analyses of the 
meal when milled appear in Table 9.

milled with and without drying, May 23, 1913, for use in storage experiments.
