Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Unless there is heavy rain in the next few days. Watrford area farmer James Picard (above) expects only about one-third of his 1;200-acre corn crop to have a near-normal yield. Drought is preventing the early planting from pollinating. The cob will be ther on the early corn; but there'll be no kernels on it.
