A Morrinsville farmer* has discovered a simple method of combating the dust nuisance during hay-making (says the Morrinsville Star). To keep dust and perspiration from getting into and inflaming his eyes he has started wearing motor-cycle goggles. These have proved just as effective in the hay field as on dusty roads, and the fashion is spreading rapidly among harvesters. Storekeepers in the district report a brisk demand for goggles, and anticipate even better business in this new line when the advantages of protecting the eyes with close-fitting celluloid instead of rubbing them with dusty fingers becomes more widely known. One farmer’ immediately bought a couple of pairs when the new idea was explained to him.
