...some huge invisible monster, pushed my head down into my shoulders and squashed me into that seat so that my backbone bent and I groaned with the force of it. it drained the blood from my head and started to blind me. I watched the accelerometer through a deepening haze. . . . I was blind as a bat. I was dizzy as a coot. I looked out at my wings on both sides. I couldn't see them. I couldn't see anything. ...

That day 6,000 tons of finely divided wheat fields fell on Chicago's roofs and sidewalks. And the dust swept on, until its thick haze could be seen from the windows of the Department of Agriculture in Washington. It hung for five hours like a fog over Manhattan-the greatest dust storm in U. S. history, proof to the East of an unbelievably successful crop reduction in the Midwest. But the Administration was not grateful...
