WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1031 THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE THE FLESHERTON ADVANCE t Published on ColHngwood street, , Flesherton, Wednesday of each l week. Circulation over 1100, ' Price in Canada $2.00 per year, I when paid in advance $1.50. In U. S. A. $2.50 per year when paid in advance $2.(/0 (Members of Canadian Weekly News- paper Association) W. H. THL'RSTON. - - Editor F. J. THL'RSTON - Assoc. Editor THE HOLLAND MARSH. PORTLAW A lew weeks ago The Advance ic- ierred to the development of the Holland marsh by Prof. W. H. Day, and giving the wonderful results from the cultivation of 37 acres that produced a yield of vegetables which Bold for $2t;,000. At the same time we expressed our wish to learn the cost ol producing this large amount of wealth. Prof. Day writes The Ad- vance under date Jan. 14. supplying the information which was lacking in the original item as we found it in an exchange. The cost of produc- tion mounted to just about one half of the income, or $13,000! Prof. Day sends us a pamphlet cov- tnng the whole matter us he present- ed it at the nominator, for Kinji antl West Gwillimbury. This pamphlet makes very interesting reading. Prof. Day BP>'S: "We. like you, have expense-;, but we have them more abundantly than you. Here they are in amending order; baskets $H1.00; motor oil, $115.00; bags, $188.33; garage and blacksmith bill.:, $277.11; trucking, (hired), $559; gasoline, $580.25; lor- ' tilizer, $901.95; cold storage, $l,fi.JG.- *."; wages, $3.724.01; crates, $3,770.55 total $11, 8.04. OS. or nearly hall the t> :;J value of the crop. For easy cal- culi'tion let u.i say it is Irilt. That will allow for interest and deprecia- t:.>". The average yield ner acre was $700. Half of that is gone for ex- penses, leaving us a margin of $.'ii>o IK ' acre, over and above expenses." The figures as presented are actu- ally .stunning. The holland marsh embraces 7.500 acres. A complete development of this area would Prof. Day points nut, produce 5'i million dollars per annum, and employ 5,000 people! It is a wonderful vision, and when it becomes an actual f-ict this district will be one of the most valu- ulile areas of cultivated land in the whole world. The land in the orange groves of California and the fruit distrii-! ot the Niagara peninsula will be cheap in comparison. We thank Prof. Pay for his cuur- <.-> jn supplying the information dc- sired. (Last Week's Items Mr. Robert Planlt has been very iii. with a doctor in attendance. We are glad to hear that he is considerably improved. Mr. J. A Thompson visited over the \veek end in the Orange Valley with bis sister, Mrs. Hargrave, who had the misfortune to suffer the fracture of her arm recently. Mr. Lewis H. Sheardown received the sad news of the death, at Bolton, if his uncle, Mr. Isaac Sheardown, an old and respected resident of that place. The big bird called at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Davidson, Centre Line, last F'riday. and left with them another little girl. i The annual meeting of our school section brought a good representation ot ratepayers. Mr. R. D. Meldrum j occupied the chair, as he has done off and on for the past thirty years, and your scribe acted as secretary of the mecline-. Mr. Fred Plantt was ap- pointed trustee, Mrs. L. Lyons, Secre- , tary-Treasurcr, ard the wood contract ' wa* awarded to Mr. J. J. Boyce. The ' auditor.;' report showed a substantial balance on hand, while the Inspector's icports commended the teacher's and punils' work very highly. The nnnual business meotinp of Mount Zion United Church was held 1*1 Friday last. The pastor. Rev. A. j M. Pooe presided and opened the rrceting with devotional exercises. Although churches have felt 'he pinch of the prevailing depression the treas- i-'er's repnrt shewed ''ar-e fr'r a ercat deal of thankfulness.
