Governor Finds Southeast
Counties In Bad Shape As
southern Pennsylvania entered
its eighth week without sub
stantial rainfall, growth of the
majority of the crops came to
a standstill.
Following a tour of the
stricken area, Governor George
M. Leader and agriculture sec
retary W. L. Henning declared
drought conditions in south
eastern Pa. “the worst ever”.
Pastures are reported at 61
percent of normal, and hay
crops continued poor. Tobacco
and potato yield prospects are
declining rapidly. A large part
of the area’s corn crop has
passed the point where rain
would be of much help.
