U S farmers eye third straight record corn harvest
Washington officials forecast a 1977 corn crop of 4.331 billion bushels, up 2 percent from 1976 and 9 percent above the then-record. Prospects hinge on July August weather, with dry spells risking a smaller harvest and potential price effects. Other crops show varied changes including durum wheat down, oats up, and oranges at a record yield despite reduced concentrate juice.

World's oldest parachutist is 85 in England
HOIITON England UP I reports Bob Broadbere, 85, has become the world’s oldest parachutist, replacing Archie MacFarlane who jumped at 76 in August 1974. Broadbere leaped from 1,700 feet Monday, saying the yellow parachute opened to a fantastic view, and he may make one more jump unless an older jumper appears.
