"A very comprehensive study of the methods followed by the largest growers of onions on the famous marsh lands in Southern Ontario."

The film explains the various stages involved in harvesting onions; from laying down lime; creating a fine seed bed; using a plank leveller and a roller to smooth down the surface; planting the seed, using a modified wheel hoe; using wheel hoe's to weed the plants; pulling the onions by hand; and packing them into boxes. Inter-title: "A 40-acre field on John A. Campell's farm." Shots of large machinery being used to remove the onion tops, to boxes of the onions being stacked, and readied for shipping.
