The Dust Bowl

The evidence of the most obvious dryness in the 1930s was a sandstorm. A large amount of topsoil was blown away by barren land and was taken away by a storm cloud for hundreds of miles. Strictly speaking, the southeastern part of Colorado's plains, the Southwestern part of Kansas State, and the narrow regions of Oklahoma and Texas are known as sandstorms, from which many sandstorms begin. However, the entire region, and ultimately the whole country, is affected.

After the black Sunday of April 14, 1935, the dust cup gave that name. Earlier in the day, more and more sandstorms exploded. In 1932, 14 sandstorms were recorded in the plain. There were 38 storms in 1933. By 1934 it was estimated that 100 million acres of agricultural land had lost all or most of the topsoil. By April 1935, a few weeks of sandstorms took place, but clouds on the horizon are the worst on Sunday. Wind speed is 60 miles per hour. Then it hit it.

"This effect seems to have been thrown a lot of fine sand on the face," Avis D. Carlson wrote in a New Republic article. "People tapped the door in their garden, the car stopped because there is no light in the world that sounds like a roaring sound, which took away us from our wealth and wealth. It will be a reality. "

On the second day of black Sunday, the reporter of the Associated Press used the word "dust bowl" for the first time. The word "it will affect the life under the dust of the mainland if it becomes rainy" was used and used for private letters and speech by radio reporters and writers .

The impact of sandstorm is felt throughout the United States. On the same black day in April 1935 and 1935, Rosford consultant Fuhamad Bennett went to Congress to testify on the need for soil protection law, in Washington, DC. A sandstorm arrived from the Great Plains in Washington State. In the same year as "gentleman, this is what I was speaking", Congress passed the "Soil Protection Act".

This took place in the Great Plains in the United States in the 1930s. It is called a "dust bowl" because the dry soil is blown away by a huge cloud of dust choking by the peeled fixed base. During the Great Depression, the dust ball lasted ten years, bringing terrible difficulties to many people. Love Canal is a community of waterfalls in Niagara, New York, owned by chemical companies and plastic companies. The company dumped 22,000 tons of chemical waste into the canal soil and covered it with a clay layer. Then they sold the place and the school and community built there. Due to serious soil contamination, this is not a safe place for people. Eventually, people realized that the disease became sick on the contaminated land and the entire community was closed. It is important to provide safe water, food, wildlife, and clean soil to the house.

Today, plain farmland has been recovering for a long time, American farmers benefit from lessons learned from dust balls. In 1935, the Federal agency responsible for implementing anti-corrosion measures, Soil Protection Agency, established the dust basin. After the legislation was enacted, President Franklin Roosevelt (1882 - 1945) signed, the state passed the law to create approximately 3,000 regional soil reserves.
