Daylight Saving Reform: A Farmer City Compromise
In this letter to the Times-Press editor, O. W. L. Mapes argues against daylight saving as a national split, urging a compromise that preserves farm milking schedules and harvest quality while allowing city workers a longer evening day. He notes cows must be milked every 12 hours, farms require 13 to 14 hours between milking, and daylight shifts threaten dairy output and prices. He proposes laws to align factory and public hours to summer needs without harming farm operations. Mapes cites August 8, 1918 as the letter date from Maples Dale, New York.
