Herds of Cows Suffering And Dying Because of Industrialisation, 1932. USA. 'On the land, things don't go so well. Because of ruthless timber-felling and unplanned agriculture, precious topsoil had been blown or washed away from millions of acres. In the middle west, a new and fearful name: the Dust Bowl. To the bad prices of a sagging market are added drought and failure. For as the land dies, so too dies all that men live by. Cattle, crops, the very roots of life'. From "Time To Remember - Around the Corner", 1932 (Reel 2); diary of events in 1932 in the United States of America - Franklin Roosevelt becomes the President.
