By JOEL MYERS

probably longer, Pennsylvania
will continue suffering from se
vere drought conditions. The long-.
est drought to plague the state in'
decades - has already had wide-I
spread and damaging effects op
Pennsylvania's agriculture and,
livestock industry.

disaster areas. Now farmers in 40
of the state's 67 counties are eli

A high pressure cell located in
the midwest will sponsor clear

sunshine during the daylight

lack of rain has been responsible
for water shortage and forest
fires, Which have developed

of the state.
