DAYLIGHT SAVING
Sir, —Daylight saving was all vej-y well for six months of the year, even for the farming community, though it meant having cream on the road for cream carts at eight in the morning. But extending it for another six weeks to April 29 is another question. Although the cows are giving less milk from now on that does not allow the farmer with large herds sufficient time to havo his cream 011 the road by eight o'clock the same as earlier in the season, because where it was light at 3.30 at Christmas it is not reasonably light enough now until 5.30 at least, with the days drawing in all the time. Fanners who are 011 the beginning of cream runs, on which the cream carter does not return, have the one alternative, viz., send what they can, keeping the balance back until next time. For this they pay the price by having somo of their cream graded first instead of superfine, thereby losing }d a lb. I would like to ask how a farmer can benefit by this? Te Mata. W. H. White.
