"Well Digging" by Lumen Martin Winter on the second floor of the Kansas State Capitol. A well was a necessity for Kansas pioneers, particularly those on the high plains. The woman with a hoe offers a prayer for rain. The men dig deeper under a blazing sun as the diviner looks eagerly on.

Digging on a late dump. The very top layer dated from May 1940. Labels on the bottles had rotted away, but for some reason other paper and card items were well preserved.
