Relief Seen as Light for Drought Stricken North Atlantic
From New Jersey to Maine firemen battled forest blazes as rain and showers offered meagre relief to a long drought. In New York 25 fires were reported Sunday, with one blaze near Ellengilts on the Bhawangun range raging despite 250 firefighters. Water shortages and parched pastures hit New Jersey, while harvests showed 40 to 70 percent losses in some areas. A brief downpour aided crops in Chemung County but pasture lands remained at risk. Massachusetts and Connecticut timber lands saw fires checked, yet corn and truck crops faced stress from moisture shortages. Western New York berry crops dropped to a third of normal as the Atlantic coast drought persisted across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and parts of New England.
