New York Farm News 
Make War On Daylight Saving—County Notes 
ngHE following was written by G. IV. 
-*■ Davis, of Connecticut, to show our 
readers what is being done in New England 
to put the daylight-saving idea out of busi¬ 
ness and to maintain standard time. When 
Mr. Davis sent in his copy he also included 
a copy of resolutions adopted by the Preston 
City Grange No. 110, the Danbury Grange, 
as well as the Mattabessett Grange, of 
Middletown, calling for maintenance of 
standard time. The New London Pomona 
Grange of over 600 members sent an appeal 
to the Commissioner of Education, ashing 
his cooperation in keeping the standard 
time schedule. 
T HIS is some of the talk that is going 
the rounds in city clubs and in other 
gatherings of people: “It’s only the 
farmers who want standard time, any¬ 
way. If we could only keep them quiet, 
we could have daylight time again.” 
Please let me cite what occurred in the 
city of Willimantic last May loth. 
A week or two before May 15th a group 
Thomas J. Owens, Secretary of the 
Empire State Anti-Daylight Saving Associ¬ 
ation, writes that he has endorsements 
from, the following locals of the Brotherhood 
of Railroad Trainmen, who send in hun¬ 
dreds of signers: Poughkeepsie Bridge 
Lodge, No. 827, Watertown Lodge, No. 
480, Buffalo Lodge, No. 244. Ira Van 
Bureau Lodge, No. 300. He states that the 
Metropolitican Lodge No. 598 has re¬ 
quested sufficient blanks to hold their entire 
membership of over 800. 
The New York State Grange meets at the 
Hotel Statler in Buffalo on February 5-8. 
Undoubtedly resolutions will be passed at 
that time showing the New York State 
Grange in favor of standard time. 
New York County Notes 
Broome County — We have been 
having fine weather up to date of writing 
—January 21 . Many farmers are working 
in the woods. Electric lights are being 
put in from Binghamton to Chenango 
Safety Essay Contest, was presented to President Coolidge at the White House on 
January 16. President Coolidge presented a certificate of the award to Miss Soper in 
the presence of several Senators and Congressmen, officials of the National Auto¬ 
mobile Chamber of Commerce, the Highway Education Board and the National 
Grange. 
She was accompanied by National Master L. J. Taber and a number of Masters 
of State Granges. The essay contest was one of three conducted annually by the 
Grange in cooperation with the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce and 
the Highway Education Board, on the subject of increasing the safety of highway 
traffic. 
The above picture was taken in front of the White House and shows: Front row, 
left to right, E. A. Eckert, Ill.; National Master L. J. Taber, Ohio; Miss Mildred 
Soper, New York; Mr. E. C. Soper, New York; Dr. T. C. Atkeson and Mrs. Atke- 
son, Washington, D. C.; Back Row, J. P. McMullen Kansas; J. A. McSparran, 
Pennsylvania; W. F. Thompson, Maine; Orlando Martin, Vermont; A. S. Goss, 
Washington State; David Agans, New Jersey and A. K. Loomis, Washington, D.C. 
of scofflaws in that city had quietly voted 
to adopt daylight-saving time. The real 
people were so affronted that they 
petitioned a special city meeting in order 
to gain a true expression of their wishes. 
The town-hall was filled quite to capacity. 
The voting was by wards and was carried 
on in an orderly, American manner. 
When Mayor Gates announced the result 
of the ballot it stood over 82% for adher¬ 
ence to standard time. 
Willimantic is a city. It has a theater 
and movies and a recreation park and ball 
clubs and a street railway and automo¬ 
biles and two railroads running both 
accommodation and express trains. And 
it voted 82% for standard time—when it 
seized and compelled the opportunity to 
give orderly expression to its will. 
The city of Putnam went through 
a somewhat similar experience in 1923. 
It remained on standard time. The votes 
in the cities of Putnam and Willimantic 
were not cast by farmers but by city 
people. 
The Standard Time League of Con¬ 
necticut has observed rather closely 
results of agitation over the two times in 
more than one State. In every case where 
the people had a fair voting chance 
standard time came out ahead. We are 
confident that the desire for standard 
time abides in the hopes of from 80 to 90 
per cent, of the people, no matter whether 
they live in the country or in the city. —

The new comb factory being built at

Schnectady County — There are not 
many iee houses filled and if the weather 
continues most folks will have to get their 
ice from ponds. Hay is bringing $20 
a ton in the barn, eggs 40c a dozen, 
butter 45c, buckwheat 80c a bushel, 
calves 17c dressed, corn meal 1.75 a 
hundred, oats 60c a bushel, potatoes 
$1 a bushel.—J, W. S. 
In Western New York 
Chautauqua County—Every one seems 
to enjoy this kind of whiter weather 
with little snow, as it is so much better to 
get around. Autos are still running oc¬ 
casionally through rural districts, but 
where there are state roads, auto travel¬ 
ing is very active. There is not much live 
stock being moved at present by dealers. 
Farmers are busy getting their winter 
supply of wood and occasionally hauling 
a load to town to sell. Good hay delivered 
in the large towns brings $25 a ton, eggs 
45c.—P. S. S. 
Ontario County—We have had a 
nice winter so far, some cold weather, but 
it has not lasted long. There are plenty 
of farms up through this country for rent 
or for sale, as a good many are going to
