Farmers Not Backing the New Time in 1919 (Daylight Savings)


From the April 24, 2019, MidWeek  "Looking Back."

1919, 100 Years Ago.

"It is very evident that the new time arrangement, whereby an hour of  daylight is saved each day by the clocks being moved ahead one hour, is not approved by farmers,  and many of them are working with the sun,  instead of with the clock.

"Milk trains in some vicinities are leaving at the same old time, that is with the sun,  although an hour later by the clock, the farmers claiming that work cannot be accomplished an hour earlier in the morning.. The rural fol have other complaints to offer,  too, on the new arrangement, and it is probable that the majority of them will work on the old time."
