SUMMER TIME.
t Sir,—Tho dairy farmers pf New Zealand have been practising daylight saving for years without altering their clock?. I suggest that if the city people are so keen to have an extra hour at tho end of f the day they could do so without fooling around - with 'clocks. By starting work at 7 a.m. instead of 8 a.m. and stopping at 4 p.m. they would receive this hour. They could go even further and have two hours by starting at 6 a.m. What a splendid long afternoon theso daylight Baving enthusiasts could have if they could only bo persuaded to get up and sitart work , as early as the average farmer has to. Perhaps after a year's trial they would decide that there were two sides to the question, and let things go on as thoy have been for years. Primary.
