1939

In the fall, the rain comes, finally bringing an end to the drought. During the next few years, with the coming of World War II, the country is pulled out of the Depression and the plains once again become golden with wheat.

It came in a yellowish-brown haze
from the South and in rolling walls of black from the North. The simplest acts of life
— breathing, eating a meal, taking a walk — were no longer simple. Children wore
dust masks to and from school, women hung wet sheets over windows in a futile attempt to
stop the dirt, farmers watched helplessly as their crops blew away.

of the 1930s lasted about a decade. Its primary area of impact was on the southern Plains.
The northern Plains were not so badly effected, but nonetheless, the drought, windblown
dust and agricultural decline were no strangers to the north. In fact the agricultural
devastation helped to lengthen the Depression whose effects were felt worldwide. The
movement of people on the Plains was also profound.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/140F5170-8091-4F61-9724-B65741C83E85/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
