Excerpt from Experiments With Windmills
The force which is ever present, making itself persistently felt throughout the Great Plains region, is the wind, which blows almost continuously. It carries the dust before it, cuts out the traveled roads, carries away the fine earth of the tilled fields, and builds up a fine loess, almost everywhere to be found. The wind, which has so long been considered as an annoyance and mischief-maker, has sufficient strength to perform the work of bringing water to the surface, if only suitable means of directing its energy can be discovered.
