Pea growers in Huron County
are among those slated, to receive
the end-product of a unique 50-
year-old village enterprise which
is now employing 48 women in
Wellington, a community of 300
families.
The women’s job Is known as
“working the pea seed.” During
the next five months, it will
involve examining individually
more than five billion of the
peas which will yield a large
part of Canada’s 1956t pack of
canned and fresh-frozen peas.
The women take over after
shakers, agitators and gravity
selectors have , done their job.
Their alert eyes and quick fin
gers ensure that each of the
millions of seeds' shipped to
growers next spring measures up
to required -standards.
'Located between the United
Church and a pumpkin field, the
■white and silver seed plant in
which the women are employed
has been a landmark in Welling
ton for over half a century. Over
the years it has been altered,
expanded and completely re
built. 'Canners Seeds 'Limited, a
subsidiary of Aylmer Products,
now owns and operates' it.
Sorting Major Step
The sorting operation conduct
ed in the plant is one of the
major steps in a seed production
program which begins years be
fore when Aylmer’s agronomists

varieties of peas for such im’
portant characteristics as yield,
quality and flavour. The program
involves the %elp of about 300
Ontario farmers who each grow
the crops which multiply the
seed of proven ptrains.
Some of the 48 women “work
ing the pea seed” are mothers of
men employed at the plant or in
local canning factories. -Some are
their wives or daughters. Second
and third generations on the job
are not uncommon and some old-
timers—like Mrs. Mary Hutchin
son and her good friends Mrs,
Sylvia Bowerman and Mrs. Edna
Platt, have been employed regu
larly at the plant since before
World War I. Robert McIntyre,
.the young Ontario Agricultural
College graduate who now di
rects the operations at Welling
ton, is one of several plant man
agers under whom they have
worked.
“It’s an easier job today by
far 'but it’s never been a diffi
cult one, if you’ve got alert eyes
and quick fingers/’ says Mrs.
Hutchinson who recalls sorting
the peas by the light of oil lamps
and then gas lamps. In her years
with the company she has exam
ined an estimated 50,000 bushels
of peas, far more than any other
woman in the village. Each day
she sifts, sorts and selects about
eight bushels of them with the
same painstaking care she de
votes to meal preparation in her
own kitchen. Like many of her
fellow workers, Mrs. Hutchinson
is a member of the -Women’s In
stitute. As they examine the
peas, talk about the activities of
■the Institute, the Eastern Star,
or the Women’s Missionary
ciety can be heard above
hum of machinery.
Treated Against Disease
Peas delivered to Wellington
are first weighed and sent
through fanning -mills where dirt
and chaff are blown away. Grav
ity separation mills then deter
mine by weight which peas will
be eligible for spring planting.
The final process involves a
treating machine which gives the
seeds a bath in a combination
insecticide-fungicide as a protec
tion against soil-borne diseases.
But before that the 48 women
examine each pea under a spot
light.
At first glance the sorting de
partment suggests an orderly
sewing room. Each (woman sits
at a small machine which pours
peas onto a moving belt. Expert
fingers whisp over the peas as
they pass. 'Off - colour, faulty
shapes, injury of any kind—and
out goes the pea. Those that
have passed go into boxes where
the- women give them a second
look. The satisfactory peas are
next given a final once-over by foremen, then r*u n through
Chutes which carry them to the
■treating department. . <-
The peas are then ready for
bagging and storing. They can
not be shipped to growers, how
ever, until samples of each batch
have been returned from the
Plants (Product Division of the
Dominion Department of Agri
culture. The samples go there to
be examined for disease and
tested for germination.
For many years now seeds in
spected at Wellington have been.
Shipped in the spring to Aylmer's
contracting growers in Huron
County and other' pea growing
areas. Each good crop has owed
much to the women- of the vil
lage and to the unique commun
ity enterprise.
