Abstract
Losses result from inadequate facilities and improper handling of food grains. Efforts are devoted to the development of storage that would not require electricity, and that could be easily maintained and operated by unskilled labor. Materials, methods, time and partial results are discussed. The grain used in this preliminary report was corn. A silica-gel adsorbant appears feasible, but cheaper drying agents are needed.
