Computing Capacity of 
Cribs 
The following formulas give bushels of 
70 lb. basis husked ear corn. For shelled 
corn, double number of bushels of ear 
corn and correct for moisture. For un- 
husked ear corn (72 lbs. per bu.), take 24 
of figure for husked ear corn; unhusked 
corn varies greatly. 
Square or Rectangular Cribs — Multiply 
the length by the width by the depth of 
grain (all in feet). Multiply this sum by 
2 and divide by 5. The result is bushels of 
husked ear corn at 70 lbs. per bu. Cor- 
rect for shelling percentage and moisture 
as directed on preceding pages. 
Round Cribs — Multiply the diameter 
(distance across center) by the diameter. 
Multiply this sum by the depth (all in 
feet). Multiply the sum by .315. The re- 
sult is bushels at 70 lbs. per bu. Correct 
for moisture and shelling percentages. 
Piles of Corn — When heaped in form 
-of acone: Square the depth and square 
the inches of slant height (i. e. multiply 
each by itself). Subtract the lesser of these 
amounts from the greater. Multiply the 
difference obtained by the depth in inches. 
Multiply this product by .0024. The result 
is bushels of husked ear corn at 70 lbs. 
per bu. Correct for moisture and shelling 
percentage. When corn is heaped against 
a straight wall divide this result by two. .
