TORONTO, August 29—(CP) Farmers and market gardeners growing table corn have been hard hit this year by the destructive, corn­ borer as reports of wide-spread dam­ age continue to increase, indicating th* poorest crop of corn in the last ten years. Produce houses in Toronto report that good table corn is extremely hard to get, with an average of four out of five cobs coming in for the market affected by the corn-borer worm. It is estimated that the farmers and market gardeners will stand, to lose thousands of dollars as a result of the damage done by the corn­ borer, as whole crops of corn in many sections have been swept. The damage done is more widespread than usual, and many market gar­ deners have taken a total loss on their corn crops. The local crops of tomatoes and encumbers were unaffected by the recent cold snap, which hit the hard­ est in the, Simcoe district, causing heavy frost damage to tobacco crops in that area. Cucumbers are back­ ward this year, with blight reported in many sections due to the prolong­ ed wet spells and the following season.

Pat Lee also took the “Futurity” special two-year- old male class. wiped out Hol­ land’s fields of daffodils, hyacinths and tulips. There is a ban on all bulb growing, so Dutch stocks are now being destroyed or used up for cattle feed. The cattle like tulip bulbs best. The result is that England has just offered U.S.A. 40,090,990 Eng­ lish grown daffodil, tulip and hya­ cinth bulbs for £250,000. Little Holland, in Lincolnshire, has already got 6,000 acres of bulbs; for some years now the Dutch growers themselves have come to England for the costlier specimens. The British Ministry of Agricul­ ture had ruled that not more than three quarters of last year’s bulb acreage should he sown but the or- d> r will* probably be cancelled as flower bulbs today are more val- urhl*- to England than cabbage. Ruo.-evelt, a great flower lover, has a magnificent display of bulb ’’lowers at Hyde Park, his New York home. His favorite is the tulip with daf­ fodils second. ■ ■ r;- ■ ■; III I.
