THE FARMER AND DAYLIGHT

A farmers wife takes issue with The Herald on its
recent statement to the effect that the disadvantages
which the daylight saving law are said to bring to the
farmer are largely imaginary. The writer Of the letter
is one Of those who believes that she is seriously incon-
venienced by the operation Of the law. She Is entitled to
her opinion ana to an opportunity to state her objections
Nevertheless, The Herald adheres to it's formerly
expressed opinion that the disadvantages which have
been charged against the law are, not entirely, but large
~. imaginary. This opinion is based very largely on
statements by farmers themselves. The Herald has a
very pleasant acuuaintance with several hundred farmers

cusses with them all manner Of subjects, daylight saving
included. 1t has run across an occasional farmer who is
decidedly opposed to the plan. He has found an equal

all Of the farmers with whom the subject has been dis
cuaed express utter indifference, and say they are not
conscious that the plan effects them one way or the other.

H NEW MENACE

A good many people have been provoked to mild
amusement by the comments, half in jest and half in
earnest on the new danger to which the navigation of
the air subjected the general public, and have smiled
at the pictures which have been drawn Of wtenches be-
ing dropped by passing planes on the heads of unsus-
pecting farmers at work in their fields, and of ~dirikibles
landing unexpectedly and Inadvertently in crowded
streets. Everyone has known that theoretically such
likely to constitute a serious menace was scarcely con-
stdeted outside Of a very small circle. a

crude and experimental state. We have already before "

It was surprising how much that

when once he reached the telegraph

which he had never seen before. He
had taken every minute he could get

his little cobwebby window. They
didn't wear hats like that in Milton.
In ten minutes one message was on
