Blotted Out Sun The dust seemed to rise up of l it's own accord. There was almost no wind. Yet the cloud plotted out the sun. Hundreds of men still en- |gaged in clearing the drifted streets of dust brought in by last weeks gale were forced to quit work be- |cauoe of darkness.
 Wilson, here to study conditions : he had only read about, saw chick ems going to roost at noon,- saw Farmers doing their afternoon Ichores by lantern light. Wilson, Landon and soil erosion authorities from Washington and Kansas State College learned from farmers that deep listing will re- tar1 wind erosion but that in west. ern Kansas farmers have been un. able to get into the fields because iof the dust.
 It was agreed at the conference here that erosion control to be ef- fective would have to be attempted

 "I was going okay. averaging about 220 miles an hour until hit terrific dust storm at Albuquer- que, N. M., at about 10000 feet" she said. Tt was very day, but I thought by climbing I could get above it. I climbed full throttle until the plane began to lose alti- tude. Then the radio beacon com pass went haywire. I flew blind for two hours, going far off my course to get out of the dust"
