We just finished watching part one of Ken Burns' "Dust Bowl" film on PBS.
Here is one small contribution.  In the back there were still some old tools
hanging up.  Kodak CS400 and Heliar 15mm.

Hi Ken,
Very evocative! My Dad farmed in Western Canada in the 30's.
One year he ran the farm and survived on less than $300.
It was not an easy time to put it mildly.
Thanks for the photo.
