A Californian narrator travels with Jack Shirley through Terry County West Texas to explore a red dyed earth tank near a water supply. They observe windmills, cattle, and irrigation practices, plus a catfish farm and acts of neighborly aid, while addressing a puzzling sulfur odor and the regional resilience of farmers against environmental threats. The piece highlights isolation, shared labor, and the community spirit shaping West Texas farming life.
