This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

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."
