Great Bend, Kas. -- Reminiscent Of Dust Bowl Era -- Drifted topsoil covers a farm roadway near here, deposited by a heavy dust storm that swept over Kansas and a wide area Sunday and Monday. This scene, reminiscent of the dust storms of the early '30s in this area, is on a Barton county farm five miles south of here. Many fields had been listed in deep furrows to prevent wind damage but blown dust accumulated in the furrows to a depth of 6 to 12 inches in some fields.
