Dust Bowl on PBS.

I saw it last night, I to had seen it before. The Big Dust storm of April of 1935 I was six months old. My Mother told me she put wetted tea towls over my crib and changed them every few minutes as the became black with dust. My Dad also put a rope between the house and barn to find his way. Here are a few pictures of me and my folks place. The place was a half mi. north of Colton Ne and the Linclon Hwy six miles east of Sidney Ne

You"re a couple years older than me. That looks like an International truck. My dad had a 1929 International "6 speed special" and it looked just like the one in your picture. I learned to drive it at 11 years old and hauled grain from John Deere 12 A combine.

I learned to drive 1924 Packard car made into a truck and a 1929 Model A truck.

It could be. In 1957 when I put my LA on LPG we bought a old 1928 INT six speed special( a lever on the floor shifted it to the second three. Put a LPG tank on it and used it until 1978. Paid $50 dollors to a neighbor for it and sold it for $2800. It is in the backgroud in this picture by it is a 1950 Dodge pickup.

Here is the picture of the LA

I painted it in 1956

Most of the big tractors on tillage and combines were IHC 15-30s and 22-36s.

Just read in "Farm Collector" magazine of another closely related PBS documentary called Harvesting the High Plains. It is to be shown sometime this year. It used a bunch of vintage equipment from an agricultural museum in Gering, NE
