Lee, I think you meant "welling prairie."
I think "welling" means flowing or spreading out, sort of like you'd only see prairie for miles and miles.

Hey guys, I don't remember the term/phrase "welling praririe" in the short story. Could someone cite the spot where it occurs? I do remember the use of "the grieving plain", which is how Ennis sees the land in which Jack's father will inter his son's ashes.

"... a tiny fenced square on the welling prairie."
It's after Ennis leaves the Twist ranch. He didn't want to think of Jack amongst the plastic flowers and such.
ifyoucantfixit:
This entire section is only one paragraph.
Bumping down the washboard road Ennis passed the country cemetary fenced with sagging sheep wire, a tiny fenced square on the welling prairie, a few graves bright with plastic flowers, and didn't want to know Jack was going in there, to be buried on the grieving plain.
