A clearer understanding of these contlitions will be had by consult- ing figure 2, which shows the temperature of the corn in various parts of the bin, together with the daily maximum and minimum air tem- perature, and the general character of the precipitation during the 69 days covered by the experiment. CONDITION OF THE CORN AT THE END OF THE EXPERIMENT. As shown in figure 2, the only marked increase in temperature was in the 6 or 7 feet of corn at the top of the bin.
