The Farm and The Farmer
az WILLIAM a. sAN6oRN

w. A. HUNNICUTTe-The day light
saving plan worked hardship on the
farmer in number of ways, on hiring
of labor. sending children to school on
school hacks. five miles, before day
light, on harvesting and threshing-
The cities cannot have ono time and
the FcousIi ty another
+. u. IiATFIELD--H would be more
convenient for the country and city to
have time alike. d..
w. l.. FOUTS-It is the biggest in
convenience that ever happened to the
farmer. Hands are dissatisfied and
want to quit work in afternoon TO go
somewhere at night. The afternoon
is the cream of the day.
A. A CHEESMAN-Much farm
york. such as hay making and wheat
cutting and threshing cannot be done
until the dew is off and that is after 8
o'clock If you hire harvest labor
they work by the fast time and one
hour Of the best time is cut off.
/. w. HARRISON-There is enough
unrest in this country. Have heard a
great deal of talk about d. L. S., be-
ing only benefit to golf players and
the leisure class. Personally it makes
no difference to me, but for the well
fare of my country, no.
THOMAS TDUNHAM- in favor
Of day light saving plan. We want
Gods time. ii
C. FOREMAN-The farmers cannot
go to church and Sunday school with
the fas. time.
HENRY HOOVER-It does not
make any difference to me. / use all
of the day light there is. and use the
lantern after dark. If it is any bene-
fit to any one, it is all right with me.
A. B. HANNAH-I do not see as it
would make any material difference
for the city alone, but am decidedly
opposed to making it a national affair
L. C. HORN do not see that the
plan is any special benefit to the far
mer We have to put in every shining
hour and then work an hour or two at
night to get our chores done. We
have not got the help to get our work
Ne It should be. l had to let 12-acre
field 60 to weeds last year because
did not have help to put it out.
CHARLES HOOVER Farmers
have not used the plan and will not
They get up at o'clock as it is, and
do not care to get up at O'Clock. The
hours before sunset are the best hours
for work l do not favor the new
scheme.
l.. N. HAMPTON-We adopted it
both times and have failed to see that
it saves any day light. 1t has always
been my plan to get up and get busy
if there was work to do, without re-
CARDS to the clock. 1t would be no
convenience for me if the cities adopt.
ed it and it would probably be some
inconveniece to country people if
there was two times.
J. w. HORT-The inconvenience
are too numerous to mention. An or
dinance passed by the city would not
be convenient to me.
CHARLES M. HOLLINGSWORTH
No, I am not in favor of the day
light saving plan. 1t don't work with
farmers and causes lots of disturb
ance. - 81
ED GAUSEPOHL-We work accord
ing to the old sun time and it suits
us the best. 3
CHARLES A, .ATKINsoN-I think
the time should be left like the Lord
made it. 1t is good enough for the
farm.
FRANK EDWARDS Its all right
for the city, but no advantage to the
country.
CLIFFORD HOWARD - For farm
ers usually get up and work early as
possible and work late because of the
heat and if the daylight saving plan
goes into effect. would have to stop
work much earlier in order to get
anywhere on time. To the last ques
ton | say yes, also.
WILLIAM CRULL-1 am not in
favor of that early time. There
aren't many around here that are.
think we can do enough in one day
without taking the time we should
.have for our rest
w. j. CHAPMAN am in favor
of the daylight saving plan.
HUBERT BURDEN-Farmers can
not do days work and get to towr
in time to do their trading at night
Would not recognize it if adopted
We use all of the daylight we have
in summer anyhow and cannot get ur
at midnight to accommodate a few il
town. The government turned i
down and so do I.
o. G.. ROND-Would like to have
clock turned back in winter time too
Get up soon, sooner the better. Turf
back clock all you want to.
ROSS M. CRAMER-We do not ia
vor the daylight saving plan, for it il
the most inconvenient thing thu
farmer has ever had to contend with
A lot of the farmers work has to b.
done by the sunlight, especially il
harvest, one of the most importan
times of the year. The afternoon i!
the best part of the day. If you hav,
to leave the field at six o'clock, you
lose at least one hour of the best o
the day. 1t will also inconvenience,
the farmer if the ordinance is passet
in the city. Farmers like to go t.
church and entertainments as we'll a.
the city people. They simply canno
get the COWS in and milk them in tn,
hottest part of the afternoon in tn,
flies, which they have to do and los,
about two hours of the best part o
the day to get to anything going OF
ii time Why can't you blow you
whistles one hour earlier of morn
ing and leave the clock as it is?
S. ]. HARLAND--Leave time alon,
