 Sulfur.—Of 18,523 long tons of byproduct sulfur produced, 18,456 tons
were shipped at a total value of $609,304, a 42-percent increase in shipments.
In 1966 shipments were 13,022 long tons valued at $273,776. Higher sulfur
prices were posted during the year. 
 
 Because of the difficulty in determining the State or County origin of byproduct
sulfur recovered at natural gas plants and petroleum refineries, particularly
on the eastern seaboard and at the Gulf ports, the quantity and value of
sulfur recovered from these sources were not included in
