Mr. Gillespie has taken over an
Old irrigation plant that had been
neglected ever since a great wall Of
water came down the mountain side
years ago and washed out good
part OF the canal. lie mas provided

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Daylight Saving \

Mr.. Editor:
Thank lou for your free space Oh
daylight saving. ST. JOhnsbury, have
you thought il over? Think it over.
DO all you can for the progress of
your town. But for the sake of hui
manly leave the clock alone. Let
the backyard farmer work his back
yard garden alone to his hearts con-
tent. He doesn't need the clock u
drag him out of bed. Does the far
mcr wait on the clock to drag him
out? No. AS a rule he waits on day
light after working eighteen hours
the day before. In many of the war
gardens the weeds grew higher than
the fence, while the vegetables grew
just high enough to tell the story.
Can the farmer work his farm alone?
To be sure he can get along part of
the time in slip-shod way, but in
haying and harvesting he must have
help, and by all accounts help will be
scarcer and dearer than ever before.
He can cut his hay in the first part
of the day by machinery, and his help
is noc much benefit TO him in the
forenoon but in the afternoon he re-
quircs all the time ne has to gather
his hay. And if his help stons work
at foul. in the afternoon goods
Time") at cost of from 81 to Sc per
day for help, and his hay still in the
field, how long can he stand farming
that way? Ever since the war began,
tn farmer helped in every drive that
was started. Now they have started
the daylight saving dive to drive
him off his farm. We need one drive
more, and that should start in the
home and in the school. Teaching the
rising generation the Importance OF
farm life. The honor it is to be the
son OF. daughter of an honest farmer
Educate them to the farm and not
against it. The State GRANGE is a
help, hut it is far from getting to the
root of the matter If tree is
dying in your garden YOU do not
stand and throw water on the
branches? No. You dig around the
roots and start new life in it.Equally
so put new life into farming, by in
sitting into the mind of the young
the beauty and love of farm life.
About the only thing that the rising
generation hears about the farm is:
ooh, that is a farmer he has got hay
seed in his hair, his clothes don't fit
him." Whether his clothes do fit him
or not he is the man that feeds the
world. And bv daylight saving you
cul tail farming. which is the back
bone of our nation.
Yours truly,
l.. l.. Bennett, farmer
