AOE [ ^ ' ! ^ 1 of 100° F., tested c. c. in acidity, and none of it would germinate. Sample No. 14, taken from about the same height in the corn as sample No. 13, had a temperature of but 49° F., tested c. c. in acidity, and germinated 50 per cent. Sample No. 16, taken from near the bottom on the starboard side had a temperature of 93° F., tested c. c. in acidity, and germinated 22 per cent. The tem- perature record for this sample, in figure 40 shows that its temperature was 46° and that from March 28 to April 7 there was but Httle change, but from then on the temperature increased until it reached 93° F. when discharged. As will be seen in Table 29, only one sample, No. 14, tested under 30 c. c. in acidity at the time of discharge. Hold 3 was one deck higher than hold 1, and had a ''feeder" rounding one more deck above that. This hold was located just forward of the boiler room. Fully three-fourths of the corn as discharged was badly heat-dam- aged. The tempera- ture of the corn in this hold at the time of discharge ranged from 44° to 140° F., which was greater by 7 de- grees than the min- imum and by 100 degrees than the maximum temperatures of the com when loaded. Thermometer No. 18, which was located in the ''feeder" about 4 feet below the surface of the corn, registered an increase in temperature from the very beginning of the voyage. The maximum temperature recorded during the voyage was 144°F., on April 15, after which there was a slight decrease. The corn surrrounding this thermometer had a temperature of over 120° F. for 10 days be
