Slide description and index card: Life returns to the vicinity of Mount St. Helens. A, Ferns and other small plants push up through a blanket of ash 4 inches thick on the southern flank, 3 weeks after the May 18 eruption. Skamania County, Washington. June 1980. (Photo by J.R. Stroh, U.S. Soil Conservation Service). Published as Figure 57-A in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 1949. 1982.
No slide caption or index card available. Figure caption: Volcanic ash from the May 18 eruption blanketed much of eastern Washington and caused great disruption, hardship, and economic loss. B, Many motor-vehicle accidents (most of them minor) were attributed to the ashfall. Most occurred when drivers, blinded by the ash, smashed into stalled vehicles ahead of them or, like the car shown in this photograph, lost traction in the ash and slid off the highway.

Index card: Effects of ash from the May 18 eruption of Mount St. Helens on agricultural areas in eastern Washington. Tractor towing a disc cultivator through a field at the Lind Agricultural Experiment Station, about 12 miles southwest of Ritzville. As much of the ash as possible was mixed into the underlying soil in this manner. The thick cloud of ash dust raised by this rather gentle cultivation method shows why dust respirators were strongly recommended for agricultural workers in the "ash belt." Adams County, Washington. Summer 1980.(Photo by C. Kelley, U.S. Soil Conservation Service; same as MSH-PP 1249 no. 54ct (msh_1249_00054_ct)). Published as Figure 49-B in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 1249....
Slide description and index card: Effects of ash from the May 18 eruption on Mount St. Helens on agricultural areas in eastern Washington. A, 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). Published as Figure 49-A in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 1949. 1982.

Slide description and index card: Volcanic ash from the May 18 eruption of Mount St. Helens blanketed much of eastern Washington and caused great disruption, hardship and economic loss. D, By May 19, the farming community of Ritzville was beginning to dig out from an ashfall of more than 3 inches, at the same time that it was providing emergency accomodations for more than 2,000 stranded travelers. The ash "drifted like snow but did not melt." View shows ashfall on plants and houses, with part of road grader visible at right. Adams County, Washington. May 19, 1980.
