Heavy shading represents heat-damaged corn. (Cargo No. 9.) tion in which it was stowed, the time of year in which it was shipped, or the length of the ocean voyage. (2) But the higher the percentage of moisture in the corn when shipped, the greater was the danger of spoilage during the voyage. (3) Various contrib- uting causes worked with the moisture in causing spoilage. A combination of two or more contrib- uting causes result- ed in much greater spoilage than one contributing cause alone. 1 J K 1 , 1 APPIL 5 16 r? 18 13 20 21 22 23 2^ £ 5 26 27 28 29 30 MAY 2 3 A S 6 lu 70 ^i^^ u _ A .,=,J?T3. *< ^â -^ âa^ IS, =5 e: a . ^jy^ijfii- bjaSgs. ^3 J r1 VjJf^T^ c -- /T^ --^ ..-â |r^i'- -«â 5 '^ S/ â -,- ZAN\ Ve VJi^F 1 1 1 "â \ f â¢â.
