ACIDITY IN DETERMINING SOUNDNESS OF CORN. 15 Figure 11 shows the direct and the proportional increase in the degree of acidity with the decrease in percentage of germination of samples taken from a car of corn which was shipped from Decatur, 111., to Baltimore, Md., and allowed to stand on the track in Baltimore until it was in an ad- TEMPEPATURE WE/GHT PER BUSHEL.

Figure 12 shows the average condition of a cargo of corn loaded at a United States seaport compared with the aver- age condition at the time of discharge of the cargo at a European port. The degree of acidity varies directly with the quality and soundness of the corn, as is indicated by the variation of the other factors graphically shown. In figure 13 reference is again made to a car of corn shipped from Decatur, 111., to Baltimore, Md. At the time of its arrival at Balti- more the corn contained an average moisture percentage of Four days after its arrival at Baltimore the temperature began to Fig. 12.âGraphic comparison of the average condition of a cargo of corn at the time of loading at a United States sea- port compared with its average condition at the time of discharge at a European port, showing the efCect of tem- perature through ocean transportation on various factors which determine the soundness and quality. it. 40 38 36 3* 32 30 28 26 Z* 22 20 /a /6 % ISt 143 13d izd 110° lOCf 30° 80° 70° 60 k P 60 55 SO 45 40 35 30 25 20 IS /o 5 0 â â v ' \ t ' \ ...
