The corn located along the upper part of the shaft tunnel was sour, moldy, and ''; The corn near the tun- nel increased jnore in temperature than the corn stowed the same height in the hold but located half-way be- tween the tunnel and the sides of the hold, as is shown by comparing the records for ther- mometers 45, 46, and 48, and figure 45. The corn located directly on the tunnel increased more in temperature and acidity and de- creased more in ger- mination, sound ker- nels, and weight per bushel than the corn which was located some distance from the tunnel, also the natiu'al corn in this hold, located on the shaft tunnel, under- went more deteriora- FiG. 44.âHold 5: Temperature records of electrical resistance ther- \\f^^ i'hnn fVio rl-riprl mometers, location of the thermometers in the hold, and samples ^^^^ man ine arieu secured at Rotterdam.

Cargo No. 7 consisted of 171,428 bushels of natural corn. The com was loaded March 23 to 27, 1911; the steamship sailed March 31 and arrived at Belfast, Ireland, April 21, where the corn was dis- charged from April 22 to May 9.
