Plan to speed weather forecasts to farmers via rural mail
A proposed plan would push weather bureau forecasts to farmers earlier by using rural free delivery. The 8 a.m. forecast would be telegraphed by 9:30 to towns with rural delivery, stamped for arrival, with a second stamp at the post office showing the latest predictions in two words. By noon farmers would have current forecasts to plan work, avoiding crop damage, though objections cite the forecaster’s fallibility and the need for at least one regular correspondent per farmer.
