direction of the wind and what it meant to farming was a daily consideration.
By the beginning of the Twentieth Century in the United States, there was a national weather service (established in 1870). In a time before radio, television or computers, its function was one of gathering weather observations. Even transmitting these by telegraph could not reach the general population in a timely fashion.
On the early 1900s farm, the practical determination of wind conditions and what they could mean, were from first-hand observation, experience and local knowledge.
