Annual Report of the Department of Agriculture for the Year Ending November 30, 1921 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Annual Report of the Department of Agriculture for the Year Ending November 30, 1921 It cannot be doubted that a régime of daylight saving throughout Massachusetts has been detrimental to its farmers. This has been attested to by hundreds and thousands of farmers throughout the Commonwealth. Because of the importance of raising greater quantities Of food near by for the purpose Of assisting business men and manufacturers of Massachusetts in their competition with others in western and southern sections, it would seem that a daylight-saving régime, injurious as it is to farmers, is not only detrimental to them, but in the long run injurious to the best interests of Massachusetts residents as a whole. We believe that many Of the most thoughtful and far seeing Of our business men are coming to realize this. I would suggest a careful study Of the new law in New York State which provides for standard time, but allows for local Option in the towns and cities Of the State. In considera ble measure this alleviates the difficulties Of farmers, and at the same time allows urban communities to enjoy daylight-saving time.
