The new estimate is up 3 percent from last month's forecast of 7.73 billion bushels, officials said. BUMPER CROPS of soybeans, record harvests of wheat and rice, and the biggest cotton crop in 28 years also were reported. The immensity of the corn crop is staggering. For exam- ple, it could fill more than 2.3 million rail cars, making a train that would-reaeh more than 22,000 miles-nearly the distance around the world. While the huge crops will help dampen consumer food and fiber costs in the coming year, they also mean weaker market prices for farmers. The administration already has announced it plans to curb wheat production next year in an effort to bolster prices. THE SOVIET GRAIN crop continued to deteriorate last month amid adverse weather, causing Agriculture Depar- tment analysis yesterday to further reduce their estimates of the 1981 Soviet harvest. According to the USDA's monthly Soviet grain update, the analysts placed the 1981 Soviet grain crop at .180 million metric tons. That compares to last month's estimate of 185 million and the Soviet target of 236 million. "Although an anonymous source in the USSR Ministry of Agriculture stated that the 1981 crop would likely exceed last year's 189 million tons, there is little to substantiate this claim," the report said. SHOULD THE estimate hold, it would be tle third straigh year Soviet farmers have failed by substantial amounts to meet their government's target. The latest USDA projection is only 1 million metric tons higher than the 1979 Soviet crop, one of the poorest in ears. Later, the,USDA announced another sale of U.S. grain to the Soviet Union-400,000 netric tons of corn and 250,000 tons of wheat for delivery in 1981;82, the sixth year of a long-term purchase agreement. The latest sales raised to 5.1 million tons of grain-2.25 million wheat and 2.85 million corn-that the Soviet Union4 has bought under terms of the pact's sixth year. It requires the Soviets to buy at least 6 million tons an- nually, plus two million tons of additional grain if it chooses, without further consultation with U.S. officials.

THE ANNOUNCEMENT followed the fastest spurt ofpew horse cases this summer-11since the beginning of the month-but health experts said the dreaded disease may be at or near its peak. "This nine day period we have just been through should be the peak of the onset of new cases," said Dr. William Hall of the Public Health Department, adding the state "should be on the downswing side of the curve of risk." THIS YEAR, there have been a total of 31 cases so far, half last year's pace, and many of them were concentrated in the southeastern portion of the state. No human cases have been reported. The state's warnings against contact with potentially disease'bearin mosquitos now extends to portions of 1 counties, including nortlern Washtenaw. Residents of these areas, adjacent regions and marshy regions are advised to avoid places where mosquitos congregate, use repellant and fix screens. Dreaded horse illness spreads in Michigan q Newspaper claims cardinal paid friend Ig CHICAGO (AP)--.Anewspaper said yesterday that Cardinal John Cody paid a "secret church salary" higher than his own to a woman who is a life-long friend and remote relative. The Chicago Sun-Times said in a copyright story-its second in as many days about Cody's finances-that Helen Dolan Wilson of St. Louis received a salary ranging from $7,200 in 1969 to $11,500 in 1975, but that several church employees said they never saw her working for the archdiocese. The Sun-Times reported that for years Cody has exercised complete control over two unaudited bank ac- -counts. The newspaper said the gover- nment is investigating allegations that Cody, leader of 2.4 million Catholics, diverted up to $1 million in church funds from those accounts to Wilson for such items as her. Florida home, a luxury. car, expensive clothes and furs. The archdiocese issued a statement Thursday denying any misuse of funds, and refused further comment yester- day. Wilson has denied receiving the salary or any money from Cody, who earned $8,000 a year through most of the '1%70s. The archdiocese describes Cody and Wilson as step-cousins. Back to School Special!
