Sample No. 7, taken from near the bottom of the hold tested c. c. in acidity, 19 per cent in germination, per cent in sound kernels and pounds in test weight per bushel. The corn at the surface and along the sides of the hold for a short dis- tance down from the top was somewhat sour, moldy, and packed. In hold 2 some of the corn became badly heat damaged. This damaged com was found in uneven spots on the star- board side near the after part of the hold and extended from the surface to nearly halfway down in the hold. There was also a small portion that was damaged along the forward bulk- head halfway down in the hold. The temperature of the com as discharged from this hold ranged from 45° to 140° F. Sample No. 8, taken from the heat-dam- aged com just under the top deck on the starboard side, had a temperature o f 140° F., and tested c. c. in acidity and 6 per cent in ger- mination, while sam- ples Nos. 9 and 10, taken from near the same height in the hold but near the shifting boards in the center, had temperatures of 50° and 57° F. and tested and c. c. in acidity and 46 and 16 per cent in germination, respectively. Sample No. 13, taken from the lieat-damagc^l corn, 15 feet below the surface, had a temperature of 130° F., tester] c. c. in acidity, and no kernels sprouted in a gcTmination test. vSamplo No. 11, taken from near the cmtside wall of the hold on the starboard side, had a temperature. las 414 45--V: BAOS . 7»w:-/ Ca--- T-rv^-^ FORWARD -'I 7»!i-%oa--
