Why Does the Dust Blow? I THIS is the third in a series of six articles describing dust storms and floods and what they mean to America. By CHARLES (Associated Press THE "dust bowl" is a martyr, sacrifice temporarily in the well-being. Having their farms and towns a "dust bowl" does not set well Colorado, northeastern New Oklahoma and morthwestern Texas.

That easy to understand. Yet science can and does use. this area as a laboratory in which the causes of dust storms can be ascertained, and in which remedial and preventive measures can be perfected. Its farmers, cooperating with the government in vast experiments, are modern pioneers. In return, it is being shown how to hold its soil down.

The men of the southwest wear high hats, farm big farms--a thousand acres is an average in the Texas Panhandle. The love of their land is in their speech. Traitorous is he who exaggerates their plight, or her who packs up and away, the "suitcase farmer" who came for a quick crop, quick profit, and couldn't "take it." VEGETATION ONCE. WAS THICK But the story of the "dust bowl" is important to every section of America, because it is the story of wind erosion. And the "dust bowl" has no monopoly on wind erosion.

What happened to the high green plains southwest that' once BIRTH The dust-' to the farmers in the air. who staked out their plots on the public domain. Cattlemen and sheepmen drove their herds and flocks into the grassy plains of the southwest. cattle grazed, something remained; where sheep cropped, cattle could not follow and live. Into western Kansas, Nebraska, eastern Colorado they moved; to the Red desert country of Wyoming, up across Montana, the two Dakotas, clear to the 'Canadian border.

WAR SPURS SPURSOVER-CULTIVATION Soon 1 no range remained unstocked. Cattlemen and sheepmen warred against each other, but neither warred against the overgrazing which scientists, even then, realized would kill the soil. Overgrazing leaves the soil without adequate cover to tie it down. (Even the Sahara and Gobi deserts were once green, say scientists; might even blossom again if the flocks that pasture at oases were checked or removed.

Science holds it is the overgrazing of these nomad herds that halt the work of nature--the march of grass over the sand, the march of trees in the wake of grass.) The World War brought a cry for more wheat. Thousands of acres were put to the plow, planted to wheat--acres which the conservationists say should have been left in pasture.

The way OF A DUST STORM who lost it -blew 8000: feet their lands too wisely, they farmed them too well, making crops grow where perhaps nature never intended anything but native grasses marching in thick, green ranks across the plains. Plowing the land to wheat turned up the clinging buffalo grass which protected the soil. Keeping the land in wheat, instead of alternating wheat, with other crops, depleted the mineral wealth of the soil and made 'the wheat less able to stand lack of moisture. With drough came crop failures, and crop failures left the land barren, ready to blow with the wind. Tomorrow--Man Fights Back.
