sun struck day after day, the leaves of the young corn became less stiff and erect...and each leaf tilted
downwards. Then it was June, and the sun shone more fiercely...
When June was half gone, the big clouds moved up out of Texas and the Gulf... The rainheads dropped
a little spattering and hurried on to some other country. Behind them the sky was pale again the sun
flared...
A day went by and the wind increased...and the dust lifted up out of the fields and drove gray plumes
into the air... The wind raced faster over the land...and the corn fought the wind until the roots were
freed...and then each stalk settled wearily sideways...
All day the dust sifted down from the sky... An even blanket covered the earth. It settled on the corn,
piled up on the tops of the fence posts, piled up on the wires... Men stood by their fences and looked at
the ruined corn, drying fast now, only a little green showing through the film of dust.
