William Cor field, staff report
er of the London Free Press
writes: Stand on a little knoll a
mile or so inland from Grand
Bend and look to the south.
Black level fields stretch for
almost a mile. A drainage ditch
cuts a deep gash across-.the left
side. Beyond that is a tangle of
trees and scrub, with patches cut
and burned over.
Here within your gaze is a
story which stretches from the
war-ravaged, harrassed earth of
Europe to youi' own dinnei' table.
Soil Rich
This rich-looking soil, which
is springy under your .feet, has
nevei* felt the cut of the plow'
before, nor blossomed harvests.
To many farmers of Belgiunf and
Holland who love the soil and
grew up with dirt under their
nails this land means a new life.
For the thousands of residents
of Western Ontario it „ means
fresh lettuce and radishes in
your salads, crisp carrots, spin
ach and cauliflower ou your
dinner plate.
Here on a stretch of land
which is soggy marsh and dense
brush is an agricultural develop
ment which will make Western
Ontario the vegetable “bread
basket” for thousands of Can
adians and Americans.
Plans Vast Garden
'One thousand acres of low-
lying land near Grand Bend is
gradually being cleared and put
to .the plow in a project which
may better the fantastic story of
the Holland Marsh north of Tor
onto. Jerry Vanderbush, a suc
cessful tobacco farmer from Del
hi has bought the tract of land
and is opening it up for market
gardening on a big scale.
From Belgium and Holland he
is bringing families of earth
workers to clear the land and
till it. Like the pioneers of cent
uries ago, these new Canadians
are whipping the previously use
less tract into shape.
First Crops This Year
This summer thirty acres are
ready for planting and within a
few months the fabulously rich
soil will be bearing its first
crops of lettuce, potatoes, car
rots, spinach and cauliflower.
This harvest will increase year
by year as .the land is prepared
by the zealous Europeans, and
it won’t be too long until these
fields will be supplying vegetables
for the .tables of thousands of
people from Northern Canada to
the lush market of the Southern
United States.
Just as California and Florida
vegetables fill the grocery stores
of Ontario in the winter, produce
from Western Ontario will be
sold in the South during the off
season there.
Plan Shipping Centre
Coupled with the land develop
ment is another project equally
important to the farmer and the
consumer as the tillage of the
soil. At Exeter a co-operative
storage, marketing and shipping
centre has been started to handle
all the vegetables1 the land can
produce. In perishable goods like
lettuce and spinach, .speed of
marketing and ’ shipping is all
important. Without this centre
large-scale market gardening is
impossible.
Partners .Sidney Rubens and
Seth Winer at Exeter are watch
ing with interest the Grand Bend
marsh project, for it means a
new field of .agriculture for their
district. A good portion of the
year, theii’ company, the Exeter
Rutabaga Company, cleans and
waxes turnips and ships them all
over the United States. Their
plant will become the focal
point of vegetable growers of
the county.
■So from the over-worked earth
of Flanders, to the marshlands
of Grand Bend, to the marketing
house of Exeter .runs a chain of
circumstances which will e^ich
the economy of Golden Western
Ontario and mean fresh vege
tables at cheaper prices for you.
