Toronto Ielegrain community of some 450 farm crs applying the most modern methods to the growing and pack ing of garden produce is making Ontarios name famous among epicures of the North American continent sending crisp vegetables as far away as Hawaii and show ing profit on the enterprise Out of the tangled thickets and sour bogs of the Holland Marsh Lonly few miles north of Toronto 6000 acres of the finest garden land has been created Lastrycar 3000000 bushels of fresh vegetab lcs came from this land Those who pioducml this small miracle own vote of thanks was extended to Fred lifher and Stan Hunt who worked for two holidays in spray ing all poison ivy on the property from five to 300 acres each and count on protlt of $1000 an acre in normal years Vegetables grown in the Holland

iron grin few hardy souls farmed the borders Gradually others joined them pushed back the thickets rooted out the undergrowth and drained the soil It took on the average five years to bring new plot of ground into perfect condition for growing Many of these pioneers on the outskirts of Ontarios great est city joined together to buy machinery irrigation euuipment and insecticides starting co operative which today combines the best features of big business with individual independence speial feature of the Holland Marsh activity in the peration of its single largest armHolland River iGardens Co Ltd which owns 300acres and employs up to 75 workers It also owns and oper ates packing plant which packs and ships millions of bushels of perishable vegetables each season Only 15 percent of what it ships comes from its own gardens The remainder is purchased from near by farms Last season the packing plant shipped 66000 cases of celery 103000 hampers of carrots plus 8000 crates each

It is 15 miles or sink said Art lJohnston as he climbed from the choppy waters of Kenipenfeldt Bay fresh fmm IWnlll swim Art was referring to the gruel ling CNE swim scheduled for Fri day September in the chilly waters of Lake Ontario The huge strongarmed Ilarrie natator whose popularity around the water front can be ascertained by glimpse at the large crowd which packs the dock during practice sessions Last year Johnston finished in the Illmile test ofstaminabut this year the swim has been increased to 15 miles and he feels the greater distance will aid his Chances of copping slice of the big money Art started training in earnest for this test on June 11 and has not missed day since On every session Art is accompanied by Cliff Barnes who steers the course from light rowboat To swim is about the only way Art can train for this event and already be has completed over 70 practice miles Ile hopes to reach 150 before the contest Johnston is perhaps better known for his feats iii the Barrie Regat ta The last four years has seen him walk away with the onemile swim He did not competdin it this year as he didnt want to change his present pace and he felt that the younger fishes of the bay should be given chance to obtain victory Last year Art had precision 54 to 56 stroke in the crawl but due to the lengthening of the dist ance he has lowered it to 5254 He gets mostof his drive from his arms powerful pair of wind mills for the noted marathonswim mers to tangle with Art ls not times for distance swims would not reveal this fact Art is carrying Barrics hopes in to the CNE and any interested per sons wishing to see him practice may meander to the docksome hot afternoon Just look fer boat and swimmer Thats Art working his shoulders into shape Dog Goes Along YARMOUTH NS July
