Further Antedating of "Dust Bowl"

[Shapiro, Fred]

dust bowl (OED 1936)



1935 _Reno Evening Gazette_ 15 Apr. 1/3 (NewspaperArchive)  Residents of the Southwestern dust bowl marked up another black duster today, and wondered how long it would be before another one came along.



[NOTE:  This Associated Press story, carried in many other newspapers as well, probably represents the coinage of the term.]
