COMPARISON OF THE MONTHS IN WHICH THE CORN" WAS SHIPPED AND 
THE QUANTITIES FOUND HEATING OR HOT ON ARRIVAL. 
Table VI shows the quantities of corn examined and the quantities 
found heating or hot, arranged according to the months during which 
the shipments were made. From this table it will be seen that con- 
siderable quantities of the corn snipped during the winter months, as 
well as that shipped during the spring months, or during the so-called 
"germinating season," arrived in a heating or hot condition. The 
highest percentage of heating or hot corn was found in the shipments 
made during May. The next highest percentage, was found in the 
corn shipped during April, while the percentage found heating or hot 
in that shipped during March was less than was found in the ship- 
ments made during either January or February. The corn examined 
which was loaded during October and November was to all appear- 
ances "old crop" corn containing low percentages of moisture, none 
of which was found "out of condition" or heating.
