The Peach Creek Philosopher Comes
Out Against Standard Work Week
For Farmers Of This Country
Editor’s note: The Peach
Creek Philosopher on his John-
son grass farm on Rt. 3 Shiner
discusses work this week, a
subject he doesn’t mind talk-
ing about, if you follow us.
Dear editar:
I was looking through a farm
magazine the other night and
ran across a letter by a farm-
er with a cur-
ious problem.
He wanted to
know why the
farmers can’t
have a stand-
ard work-week
like city peo-
ple. “Why can’t
we have a stan-
dard,” he asked, “so when we
quit work at 6 we won’t feel
like we’re loafing?”
This quiestion brings up so
many answers I hardly know
where to start attacking it.
In the first place, I've never
had any trouble knowing when
to stop working. I’ve some-
times had trouble knowing
when to start, but never when
to stop.
Maybe city people have to
be told when they’re tired, but
I’ve never had that shortcom-
ing.
This farmer went on to say
he’d like to know what work
hours other farmers put in a-
round the U.S., on the grounds
a uniform standard could be
established and a man could
get off his tractor at a certain
time each day without feel-
ing sheepish about it.
A man who has to watch his
neighbor to know when to
stop plowing is in the wrong
business. On the other hand,
any neighbor who watches me
to learn when to start, will go
broke.
But this idea of a standard
work week for farmers wor-
ries me. You let somebody in
Washington hear about it, and
it won’t be long before he’ll
come out with some new
legislation called an Hour-
Control Program, with gov-
ernment checks out if you go
over or under it.
A farmer’s day begins when
he wakes up and ends when
he goes to sleep, and what he
does during those hours is his
own business, provided the
support price is satisfactory.
And any farmer who can’t
figure out how to spend those
'hours, without looking over
the fence to make sure he
doesn’t work longer or short-
er than his neighbor, ought to
move to town and get a job
where somebody can make
these decisions for him.
I don’t want anybody tell-
ing me how many or how few
hours I can work a week. This
is a matter I can decide for
myself, even if it takes me
the first five days to decide
what I plan to do the last two.
Yours faithfully,
J. A.
Mr. and Mrs. Rex Rebecek
and Larry of San Antonio vis-
ited here during the weekend.
