The piece argues daylight saving time harms farmers by forcing adjustments to schedules while city workers keep standard hours. It notes wartime time rules, British Double Summer Time, and Canada returning to peacetime measures so rural workers can finish tasks before dark, ending with a nostalgic note about nice morning sunshine.

He says shorter hours with higher pay could spark inflation, while reconversion plus worker reemployment demands higher prices and broader strain on goods.
