Drought Worsens Across Nation Tightens Water Shortages
The nationwide drought belt from Texas to New England stayed intensely dry over the weekend, harming crops and property with fires across thousands of acres. Water rationing hit communities and major cities, winter wheat seeding delayed in the Plains, and livestock faced feed and water shortages while Florida and California reported favorable growing conditions due to irrigation. A hurricane named Ginny off Cape Hatteras increased fire danger as winds rose to 85 mph, though arid southern Maine to Vermont remained critically dry.

Relatives helped, adding to the cost in feeding them.
