TERN DE HATS The day light saving plans puts us all wrong with our work, g most of the harvesting is clone in the afternoon. ED HTJTCHINGS I fail to see how

enything Is gained. Surely the farmer

is not benefited. L. L. IHNSHAW From my own standpoint it makes little difference as I work all day, and as we farmers often want to trade in the city after

6 -o'clock I am wposed to it even

there. As there are only so ,many hours of day light any way let the city men bexin workine an hour earlier

Spalding, f and then he will have the same time

in the evening W. EL BROWN I cannot see why the shops cannot start an -hour earlier and -quit earlier. I am opposed to the plan. H. H. HUNT Let God's time alone. ROBERT GANRTJT t is a menace to the farmers, ft keeps us from our evening recreation and trading during the crop season and harvest. It deprives us of one hour of sleep and causes discontent among the hired help. I suggest that he factories begin earlier. G. W. HENS LEY I am not in favor of the plan. J. W. BURGESS If the city people want to save an hour of day light they can petition the employers to let them begin work earlier and let the time be as it is. C. 6. BEARD The most absurd proposition ever put into the form of a law and a nuisance to agriculture. A law compelling city people to go to bed at night and get up in the morning, like civilized people do, would be PAUL CATES I do not Hire the plan. With regular farm help it makes an unbalanced day short forenoon and longer afternoon; with extra help at

harvest and threshing an hour in the evening is worth more than an hour in the early morning on account of the

dew, B." T. HAYDEN I do not favor the plan, as it is necessary for farmers to work in the dry part of the day. If I have 25 'men threshing and they quit, one hour earlier I lose as much in one day as one man can save in one month. This also is true in harvesting and hay making. Then If the towns use , the Tlans the stores and barber shops are closed before I can get my trading done of an evening. J. C. HOWARD There Is no better time for the farmer than the real old sun time. It would inconvenience me to some extent but If they want such an ordinance. I will lose no sleep from that caus. ' J. C. HOWARD There is no better time for the farmer than the real old sun time. It would inconvenience me to some extent but if they want such an ordinance I will lose no sleep from that cause. W. L. HELMSING It is a menace to the farmers in scleral different ways. CHARLES GIBSON I am not In favor of the plan. If the city people mould work from day light til 9 and 10 o'clock at night like the farmers do they might have something to growl about. Hansel Dennis It makes too much extra work for the farmer. Our cows do not come up one hour earlier so we have to go after them. We have all we can do without any of the unnecessary work. It Is a hindrance to a farmer ra many ways. If the cities adopt the plan and the farmer does not, it maks it very inconvenient for them in trading. If town people are going to put out a garden they will get up and see to it before they go to

work, whether the clocks are turned up or not. God did not aim to use that kind of time or he would have fixed it that way. i. D. Farlowe I am not in favor of a national law for day lihgt saving. The cities can have it if they care to, but the farmer is not for it. J. a HARRIS It is not God's plan. I am not in favor if it in any Tespect LARK1N HOOVER The plan would inconvenience the farmer In many ways. If he has hands hired he loses time and money, both in the evening and morning, also for the hired men of today is independent and quite promptly on time wheather he starts on time or pat. As it isn't always always possible to start early on account of the dew, he loses time then and again in the evening by quitting early, for the evening hours are sometimes the best of the day. If the city man Is thrirty and wants a garden he will get np enough earlier to tend it without changing the time. If he puts as many hours in as the farmer he would get up a few hours earlier and work a few later each day. J. D. HOOVER All the city people want is more time to go to the movies and run around. Let them start to work at midnight if they want to. That doesn't give the farmer any more day light. CHARLES HOOVER It spoils the .best part of the day for the farmer all through harvest time and for trading he has to go to town in the middle

of the afternoon to get in time to trade. C G. HALE Let's use God's time for he said let there be light. Then he divided light from darkness. He called the light day, and the darkness night.

SHANNON CHAMBERLIN I am not in favor of the plan, as it is an inconvenience. W. T. CULBERTSON It is very inconvenient for tfce farmer in many ways. For instance, lose one hour on hired help of mornings, dew too heavy and bad in harvest time. One gets confused with two times. J: A HOCKETT I cannot see that it makes any difference which plan Is used as we farmers work early and late. It is the hired help that complains. CARL AMMERMAN I am not in

favor of the plan. It will cut down

production and is no help to us. On

the contrary it makes it harder for us to get hired help to get our work done i and loses of time when going anywhere

of an evening by having to stop our work to get there on time. THOLLIE DRULEY The "daylight saving law" is of no vital concern to the farmer so long as such "time" doesn't interfere with his ability to secure farm help. Personally, however, I am opposed to above named law. 1st. Because it does actually render it more difficult to secure farm

labor. Quitting . an hour earlier does seem a bit attractive to many. 2nd, Because It often puts a fanner to considerable Inconvenience to visit his bank, or go to grocery or repair shop. 3rd. Because it is impractical when applied to farm management, for the reason you cannot harvest, crops so early because of dew etc. A farmer has no set time to begin the days work: This depends on weather conditions, quitting an hour earlier for dinner makes it necessary to resume work when sun is hottest in the summer and quitting again in afternoon when it is best time to work, both for men and horses. Written statutes cannot determine how many hours shall constitute a day's work on a farm, nor when that day shall begin or end. A farmer's day varies from five to fifteen hours. Many a day the 'writer has spent fifteen hours at work with no thought of remuneration except the consciousness of work done. The world needs Increased production: Hungry natives cannot be fed by working six hours a day and fire days a week. It is the writer's candid opinion that men everywhere should be willing to

do an honest day's work for an honest day's pay and be satisfied with the "time" the All Wise Creator gave in the beginning. However every patriotic citizen should favor any change in existing conditions that will result in greatest good to greatest number. H. REECE In regard to the day light saving plan, I think that sun time for the country and either sun or standard for the city is best. It looks to me like when a person only works 8 hours in town that they would hate to ask for any more liberty. Eight hours would be about one-half of a day on the farm in busy times. Here is where our high cost of living commences, these short hours, high wages and short production. Two hours short of a ten hour day would be twelve hours per week, that would be y days of eight hours each. One and one-half days a week, all over the United States, non-producing would be hundreds of thousands of idle days work each week. Do the farmers ask an S hour day for themselves? No, Indeed, they don't. They have to put two of the 8 hour days in one, to produce enough for the people in town. They have to work while the people in town are going to

the movies. Are the fanners the cause of the high cost of living? No, I

should say not, the fanners get just what the markets quote, and not a cent more. They also have to pay what they are asked to pay for what they buy. They have to pay for this short labor day in extra cost of farm implements, etc. It wouldn't take very long of an evening to tend to small gardens like pople have in town. I tend mine after working all day in the field. The farmers' day is as long as it ever was. He. is even producing more according to help he gets, than he used to years ago. It looks to me like that Instead of shorter hours., that longer hours in town with extra production would certainly go a long way towards bringing down the H. C. L.

I often work sixteen or seventeen hours per day. Lots of farmers work J longer than that. I think that one kind of time Is best, so the town and farmer can

work together to bring down. Old H. C. L.

JOHN BUSNELL. of Cambridge City

has submitted the following: All this

"bosh" of thi farmers which is being

published in the Palladium relative to daylight saving is calculated to make one tired. In the first place, the plan was originated for the benefit of city and town people. The farmers always did as they pleased In regard to time anyway; nine-tenths of thetm are now and always have been going by the old "Runtime" so what difference would it make to them whether the town folk set their time pieces & half hour faster or slower than "suntime"? While the question is being discussed why not ask the opinions also of the shop and store people in the towns and cities who are really interested and effected? They are the ones who need the daylglht swing plan. The farmers can start work when they please and quit when they please. At

least hear both sides of the question. From a shop man who needs an extra hour In the evening to work In his garden. It did more for me toward reducing the high cost of living than anything else.
