The Farm and The Farmer
~ WILLIAM a. sANsoRN

makes no difference to me.
SAM BYERS-The daylight saving
plan does not meet my approval 1t
works out real hardships on the
farmer who is not SO fortunate as to
be able to pick a certain part of the
Cay in which to do his few hours work.
II the farmers efforts and patronage
are worth anything at all to the people
in town, then let twelve o'clock be
twelve o'clock as 1t should be, both
here and there.
Fl. S. Dennis am not in favor of
the day light saving plan.
GEO. w. DUTRO-It would not ef-
feet me in the least If the cities adopt
such an ordinance. It would effect
the dairy farmer should the rural
route train be also changed to suit
such a plan.
HENRY G. CRULL-I do not favor
it because my children have to get in
the school hack too early. 1t is hard
on children. If the cities pass this
plan, all schools will soon take it up.
This plan takes farm hands to town.
have other reasons as well as
these.
J. w. FERGUSON-I am in favor of
the daylight saving plan.
FLOYD DAVIS-If the cities use the
daylight plan the stores and banks
would open and close with that time,
therefore, it would be the same. The
farmers put in long hours enough
without that time. Let the city folks
get up one hour earlier.
D. r. FUNK-This plan has been
tried. Found very confusing with farm
labor conditions. Besides it effects
the school hours to a disadvantage.
JOE Copeland am in favor of
the~ only time to 60 by. Yes, it is a
difference. can't hire hand and
quit at o'clock.
LINDLEY w. BAKER-If the cities
put the plan into operation the farm
ers will have to purchase their goods
through mail order houses, because
they can't get to town in time to pur-
with the city for abor with such
hours. and that will stop production.
WILLIAM Clark object to the
daylight saving plan as the groceries
close in the middle Of the afternoon
and the farmers have no chance to get
their groceries in the evening.
PRINTES EDWARDS-It will not
make any difference to me.
LEVI S. DILLING-I cannot say
too much against it, for the farmer,
and nothing for it. 1t is great loss
to the farmer and no gain. The farm
err works from sun to sun anyway.
His hired help wants to quit at 5
o'clock. In haying, harvesting and
threshing sea sons it is too wet to do
anything in the early morning. The
evening is worth almost as much as
the forenoon. He can not take in hay
before 10 o'clock anyway. I have no
objection to the factory starting an
hour earlier If it is satisfactory to the
parties concerned, but let the clock
alone. If I wish to get up an hour
earlier can do it without changing
the clock.
]. M. BUNNELL-I sure would make
difference in my trading point if
could find a town that would not
adopt such runaway time. I was in
hopes that this was settled for all
time to come. am opposed to it from
all sides.
J. E. BOND-If the city adopts this
plan the farmers can not get their
supplies after their days work is
done.
S. S. CLEVENGER-The reason I
am opposed to the plan is the shop
hands quit at o'clock and the farm
hands want to quit at the same time.
In harvest time the dew is on early
and we can't commence until the dew
goes of. God made the day, and man
can't improve on his work.
WILLIAM BURRIS-The old time
is fair to the farmer The best work
is done later in the day. Rest at the
noon hour.
RICHARD BROWN am not in
