Wind, Wind Erosion, Sand Storms and Dunes

Photograph of a close-up showing how exactly soil blows as William Trarel sifts it through his fingers. This is a lower part of a 65-acre field of cotton, grain sorghum and sudan grass that washed out in 19 inches of rain on June 22, 1948. Silt deposited in the lower part of the field has created a blow problem. OK-9657.
