Caption: “Manhandled Land - fertile soil goes off by carload lots.” A common site during the Dust Bowl. The erosion in this picture was more an effect of poor farming practice than drought though. In: “To Hold This Soil”, Russell Lord, 1938. Miscellaneous Publication No. 321, U.S. Department of Agriculture.
