H. 11. Bennett, director of the Soil Hi. sien Service of the United State; ! lepai ; nient of the Interior, pointed i'ii:. that the .m i at dust storm was the ::a: ui' ! eonseiucnce of the erosion ol tin pium.s .due to certain types of cropping and chanc.es in vegetation which causes fundamental changes in the character of the land. In special icports on the storm sub, mined to Secretary of the Interior Harold I.. I.kes, Mr. Hon net t said: tin May 11, a prodigious cloud of yellow dust, driven before a wester ly witul. swept over the ouster sea board lvjrinn from ('ami. la to f.ir south of Washington. This phenomenon, never befnie ixporienced in eastern America, was caused by a wind-driven log of soil particles that came from the droughl-.st rickeii areas' of tians .Mississippi.

This ureiit dn.st storm laid an ob- sciu.iiig 'mist of terrestial partiide.s oyer on area more than a thousand miles from north to south and nearly I. olio miles from east to west. The sky was hazy in New1' York City, .and dust .sifti'd through window cracks o lay a line coating' inside skyscrapeis, homes and stores. At .the same time :: a- reported that western .skys were clear, the great dust envelop;1 having passed eastward. The wierd "'dry blizzard" was reported over the Dakota on Wednesday and in St. : Louis and St Paul on Thursday, liy Thui.sday liight the fog of drifting soil material was in the vicinity of I Cincinnati Nashville and Detroit, and the next day, with sun-obscuring ef fect it drove across the Appalachians ami onward to the Atlantic. Origin of Dust Late in 10152. unusual dust 'storms began to strip the soil from south western wheat fields in the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandle country and ad. jacent parts of Kansas and Colorado. As the drouth continued, soil drift ing increased, g eatlv damaging al most countless areas of wheat and .iijrhum land., from northwestern T.xas acres. Kansas into Neb.aska.

Dust storms origi nating on the sandy lands did not drift to great distances because the soil particles were too large and heavy for easy transportation. With continuing cultivation, however, the vegetable matter that gave . firmness and sta bility to the soils of these western areas was gradually dissipated by slow decomposition resulting from ex pcsuie ol tlie earthly material to the oxidizing effect of air. The conseouen- o was that the soil became looser and looser, finally developing a condition that male the heavier lands, espec ially the silt loams, susceptible to serious wind erosion.
