Scope and content
The item is a b&w documentary film reel from 1928. "Cleaning up, burning and ploughing land in readiness for planting. Levelling soil before sowing with one-horse drag. Sowing fine seed with hand sower. [Close-up of] demonstration of sowing. Planting lettuce sets for seed. Sowing sweet peas. A month later -- plants up. Flailing garden peas with a hand flail after they've been brought in by a horse-drawn wagon. Dwarf beans, lettuce and radish. Pan across flower-seed farm. Picking, screening and drying. Dahlia seeds. Picking sweet pea seed. Turning, fanning, screening and sacking seed. Rows of onions lying on the ground and being picked. Several pans across field and out over ocean. There is no indication of where this was photographed, but the Saanich Peninsula seems likely." (Colin Browne)
