DAYLIGHT SAVING
FARMERS YIELD HALF HOUR Press Association DUNEDIN, To-day. Various proposals in connection with daylight saving were discussed at a meeting of the Otago Provincial Executive of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union to-day. The chairman, Mr. J. D. Evie, said it had been shown again and again that summer time was detrimental to the interests of the producer, but evidently he was only a secondary consideration, and as long as he kept up the exports it did not matter what conditions he worked under. Mr. A. C. Leary: What about half an hour all the year round?” He thought that if they had half an hour’s daylight saving all the year round it would then be of some use to, the farmers.
The following motion was carried: “That we realise that townspeople are demanding daylight saving and that we, as an executive, oppose any increase beyond half an hour, this to operate from November until March.”
