HOW TO FIND THE CAPACITY
OF A CORN CRIB IN BUSHELS
*
Do you know how much corn is
left in your crib, or how many bush¬
els a given space will contain? If you
know the rules for estimating quant¬
ities of stored grain, the problem is
simple.

els of corn in u crib, find the number
of cubic feet in the pile of ear corn
and divide this product by 2’4. The
result thus obtained represents the
number of bushels of shelled corn in
the pile of ears and is a fair approx¬
imation for well-settled ear corn of
good quality. However, if the corn
is of poor quality a higher factor
should be used, say 2 3-8 or 2 Vs.
A standard bushel contains
150.42 cubic inches, or nearly 1 >4
cubic feet. This is a bushel, by meas¬
ure, of shelled corn or of other grain.
A bushel of corn on the ear varies
widely in volume and may occupy
more or less considerably less than
twice the space occupied by a bushel
of shelled corn. On the average, corn' 2'4 .
cubic feet of good, sound ear
will make a bushel of shelled ‘ corn * I
If r the crib wider , at the , top than ,
is
at the bottom, find the average
width by adding together the width
j
at the bottom and at the top of the
corn and divide by 2, Then multiply
this average width by the height and
length to find the cubic contents, and
divide by 2*4 to find the number of
bushels of corn in the crib.
The cubic contents of a round
crib are found by multiplying te¬
gether the area of the base and the
heigh of the crib. The a r ei of the
base if found by the formula us< .i
for finding the aiea of a circle; that
IS by multiplying the diameter by
i 4 seif, and this p r °duct by 0 7854.
'i hen multiply by the heigh.. Divide
hy 5 1/ 4 as before, and you have tlm
number of bushels of shelled corn.
in buying or selling ear corn
vi tht, which is the geneta 1 pi a tied,
1 13 customary to allow 70 pounds
of aij-dried ear corn to the bushel.
This quantity of ear corn will give
atcut 56 pounds of shelled corn tor
an even bushel, or 2,150.42 cunic
inches) and 14 pounds of cobs. There
is some variation from this figure
due to difference in percentage of
grain to cob and to the weight of a
measured bushel of she’le 1 corn.
To estimate the number of bush¬
els in a bin of shelled corn, multiply
together the length, breadth, and
height in feet of the pile of corn,
and divide by 114- If the dimensions
are in inches, multiply together the' i
length, breadth, and height in inches
and divide by 2,150. This same rule;
can be used for measuring bushels or esti-1 of
mating the number of
other grain, as wheat, rye, oats, etc.
