Kansas

Excerpt on back:

Commercial wheat harvesters, called "custom cutters", travel from 

Texas north each year, making quick work of harvesting the golden 

wheat fields. This crew was hired by a northwest Kansas farmer to

cut his large field.

Thanks to Glen for this card, it was rather enjoyable to

read his card :)

Dust Bowl Days

Kansas History

This photo, taken April 14,1935, in Western Kansas shows people

out on a rabbit hunt when they were overtaken by a dust storm.

The "Dust Bowl" days in Kansas had a devastating effect on the state's economy.

 

I love cards that shows a glimpse of the past, especially one

with the power of nature , my second card of this aspect.

Thank you Lisa for this great card!
