He has his joke about it calls it "getting his Vitamin What he cannot stand is to have his own landthe rich topsoil that yields his crops and pays his bills and sends his children to school whipping away from his farm, leaving it "blown out," desolate, sterile. The "dust bowl" is a small area as Americans figure areas. Its problem is not small In the same proportion.

Those who have devoted lifetimes to the study of American soil contend that what has happened in the "dust bowl" is indicative of what may happen elsewhere; that remedial steps being developed there may save other sections as yet less gravely affected.

It smothers ihe young crop, "blows out" the planted field, piles up where it is unwanted.

Man And Beast Affected In big and little towns the dust blows grimy and gritty, enters eyes, nose, ears, lungs. In bad etorms, "dusk masks" are worn. On May 11, 1934, the soil conservation service marked down "Americas record dust storm," when choking yellow clouds were whirled out of the drought area of the southwest as far aa the Atlantic. The storm darkened many cities and towns; lights burned all day in homes and office buildings; traffic was blocked. On the Mississippi, rlverboats elowed down or snuggled close to the land; on highways, automobiles crept along with headlights burning.

Before the clouds of dust in frantic flight go hundreds of birds; below, livestock bellow and bleat, jackrabblts scurry to cover. That is the dust storm at its worst. The dust does not always blow, and the southwesterner re- Charles Norman, Associated Press staff writer, was sent into the "dust country" to report first-hand, accurately and without over-dramatization, the situation in an area which has been hardest-hit by dust storms. This is the second in a series of six articles on dust storms and floods. Tomorrow: The Dust Why Does Blow? The statements for Ohio's 425 personal finance offices are to show the amount of assets used and useful, capital and liabilities, income and expenses, together with analyses of charges and expense per account.

The number of loans is to be recorded, together with the amount of loans made and the average size of each. Average net earnings for these finance companies for the year is given at 3 57 per cent. There will be a meeting of the Ohio Association of Personal Pi-nance companies in Cincinnati, July 21st-23d. FINANCE COMPANIES ASKED FOR REPORTS Business Picture Sought by State Government.

BV CHARLES NORMAN' Associated Tress Staff Writer rUST storms concern the farm- er whose land blows, the merchant and banker and manufacturer who depend on the farmer's income, the housewives who scrub unceasingly, the less sturdy whose lungs are affected, the stockmen whose animals perish in the storm or starve because the pastures are dust-covered. Dust storms originating in the midwest have blown in black or yellow clouds as far east as the Atlantic coast. The problem is gravest in an area of the southwest called the "dust bowl." Included in that area are southeastern Colorado, northeastern New Mexico, western Kansas, western Oklahoma and northwestern Texas. Dust Fills The Towns In the midwest they know from the color of the dust where it comes from red from Oklahoma and Texas, sandy from Kansas, black from the Dakotas. Spring is the season of worst dust storms.

Men who know the "dust country" can tell early in the morning, windless and splendid though the day may be, when dust will blow. On the horizon there are whirlpools of dust the southwest knows them as ''dust devils." By noon the fields are stirring; the wind swishes along: the dusty ground.
