Flowing 'Gold' In The Dust Bowl. Joe Evans sunk two wells in his dust bowl farm near Hereford, Texas to get the water with which to fight the drought. Here his son, Wayne, works in one of the pools created by the pumps which throw 2,000 gallons a minute to the surface. This water, and increased rains, make it possible for Evans to produce a crop on his 1,000 acres which, in 1932, virtually was a sea of shifting sand.
