This variation in the temperature of the corn was due to the wide difference in air temperature between Baltimore and the western points, as shown in figure 3, page 9. The condition of the corn in the second experiment was practically the same at the end as at the beginning of the test. This is shown in figure 3 by the fact that the average temperature of the corn in the cars did not increase to any great extent from t
