LIFE Magazine (April 10, 1950)

In the LIFE magazine, dated April 10, 1950, on page 40, there was a feature entitled "A Dust Bowl Look In Texas" where the worst wind since 1936 blew away southwest fields.

The article went on to say, " For double the biblical seven fat years farmers in the southwest have been keeping their fingers crossed against a recurrence of the winds which finished carving out the dust bowl in 1936."

The fierce winds were blowing everywhere from Texas to Kansas, stirring up choking clouds of dust.

It has been about 75 or so years since the Dust Bowl and Depression years. Have we learned our lessons from those years so the same thing will not happen all over again?   |  View or Add Comments (0 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
