A forlorn figure, this cow forages for food in dust blown pastures, July 8, 1936, Ford County, Ks. A month of rainless days and soaring temperatures, which stood far above 100 degrees in many sectors of the drought area, have ruined pasturage and crops. The extreme dryness is graphically illustrated in this picture by the dust filling the air as breezes sweep over what was once pasturage. (AP Photo)
