World cotton output for 1966 67 is estimated at 47.2 million bales, the smallest in five years. The U S drop from 1965 66 record high stems from a government program paying farmers to leave land idle. Russian production rose to a record, while world consumption slightly exceeds output by about five million bales, easing surplus pressure mainly in the United States.

Bushel Loosing Ground to Pound and Ton in Measures
Washington reports the bushel increasingly replaced by pound and hundredweight in crop production estimates by the Agriculture Department. Apple and peach figures shift to pounds while pears move to tons, with consideration of reporting wheat corn and other grains in hundredweights. By law a U.S. bushel equals 2150.2 cubic inches and 17.627 pounds of water, yet actual bushel weights vary from 24 pounds for meadow fescue seed to 70 pounds for ear corn.
