NEWS OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA AND CITY'S SUBURBS
FARMERS WANT
LAW REPEALED
York and Adams Agricultur
ists Regard Daylight Saving
Hostile to Their Interests
York. Pa.. June 9.—Congressman
Edward S. Brooks, of this city, de
clares that farmers of York and
Adams counties, nre adding their
voices to the clamour for the repeal
of the daylight saving law and ho
has received many letters and peti
tions calling upon him to lend his
influence in securing the repeal. The
farmers appear as a class, to regard
the law as hostile to their interests.
Their plea is that they work toy the
sun and that no amount of clock
changing can alter the fixed laws of
nature They therefore, are bound
to lose money and time if they ob
serve the change of hours. One of
the remonstrances, in a burst of sar
casm. suggests that the advocates of
daylight-saving also see that the dew
dries from the grais an hour earlier
and that the cows be educated to
the need of giving their milk in time
to fit in with the advanced" schedule
of the milk train.
The farmers say that in conformity
to the change of the clock, the men
engaged in the work of haymaking
present themselves for wcrk when
the grass is so heavy with dew that
they cannot cut it. and thus much
time is lost. Likewise, at the other
end of the day. the helper leaves
them when the sun is still high. 1
