Index card: Effects of ash from the May 18 eruption of Mount St. Helens on agricultural areas in eastern Washington. Compacted ash 0.75 to 1 inch thick smothered lentil plants in this field about 25 miles south of Spokane. The severe damage to this crop is obvious, but many crops in the "ash belt" produced profitable returns in 1980 despite the ashfall. Near view of person lifting section of dirt showing ash layer on top of soil. Spokane County, Washington. July 1980. (Photo by Earl Baker, U.S. Soil Conservation Service; same as MSH-PP 1249 no. 53ct (msh_1249_00053_ct)). Published as Figure 49-A in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 1249. 1982.
