We are glad to report these Ontario County crops get light frost damage Record breaking low tem- peratures brought frost over the week-end to most areas of Ontario, causing damage to vegetable and tobacco crops in some regions of the province. Hardest by the frost were the tobacco growers of the counties north of Lake Erie. Some growers reported crop damage amounting to more than 90 per cent. Also hard hit by the frost were tomato farmers. In Ontario County, Mr. Rick Jefferson, Ontario- County Assistant represent- ative at the Uxbridge office of the Ministry of Agricul * ture and Food said that some corn growers in the County have reported browning and . blacking: of some of 'their plants with the early planted corn appearing to be hardest hit. However, Mr. Jefferson added that it looks like damaged corn will still come along without re-plariting, although growing time may be set back a week or so. Mr. Jefferson also said that the frost caused some damage to local garden crops such as tomatoes and beans. The Agriculture and Food Office for Duham County in Bowmanville reported some light frost damage in low-ly- ing areas, mostly to tomato crops. Some tobacco gro- wers in the Pontypool area also reported damage to the crops. The Bowmanville of- fice said it is not known how many acres were affected by the frost, but extensive econ- omical damage is not ex- pected.
