Drought Strains East as Crops Suffer Across States
The eastern United States faces a severe drought likened to the worst since 1900. From Maine to Virginia crops including vegetables and tobacco burn up while water reserves run below normal and woodland tinder dries.

The Weather Bureau projects little rainfall in the near term, with four days offering uncertain relief. States affected include Maine New Hampshire Connecticut Massachusetts Rhode Island New York New Jersey Pennsylvania Maryland Delaware and Virginia with Vermont and upstate New York partly spared.
