R. J. Bodman. an engineer for the Jones- Hettelsater Construction company, the builders, said. Yet to be done is building a steel gallery on top to house a conveyor belt from the bins into the headhouse; installation of a conveyor below the tanks; a connecting bridge sixty-two feet long from the bins to the house at the top; waterproofing, and electric wiring.

The conveyor belts will be forty-two inches wide and 520 feet long, driven by a 50-horsepower motor. The belts will transport 25.000 bushels of grain an hour.

The engineer said that when the temperature rises, it is an indication that the grain is spoiling. This may result from being wet or having bugs. When the warning is received on the instruments, the grain is moved out immediately, he said. The temperature of the grain is by four cables running from the top to the bottom so that the grain is never more than fifteen feet from a cable. Inside each cable are twenty copper wires and one of an alloy, blended so that when there is a temperature change, the metals send electrical currents to the instruments.
