CAUTIOUS ON SUMMIT Although he defended his deci- sion to meet with Khrushchev, Eisenhower said any East-West summit conference would be a grave mistake unless there was "pretty good' assurance in ad- vance that some progress could be made. As for the possibility of war breaking out over Berlin, Eisen- hower said he is confident "no one in the world wants war" and that he is "not going to be classed as the bomb rattler."

Reports, not yet confirmed, state that in some areas the to- bacco crop was "slashed to pieces". It is feared that total crop damage might exceed one million dollars Early reports indicated a bet- ter than normal tobacco crop for the area. In some cases it is known that losses amount to 100 per cent of the crop. In the Ken- dal area one farmer reports a 75 per cent loss of his 40-acre crop. In Kirby most farms are affected. Some idea of the loss might be gained from the 1958 tobacco crop for Durham county which amounted to 3,841,893 bs. soid at per lb. There was a total of 2781 acres under tobacco in the county with an average yield of 1416 lbs. per acre, Many farmers are protected by hail insurance, but a considerable number neglected to protect them- selves this year, it is stated. Agricultural representatives in the area are also busy trying to| get some idea of possible damage| to the apple crop. The crop suf- fered some damage said to be "spotty" throughout the area from a hailstorm about two months ago. This was not re. ported in view of the fact that many orchards were not affected, and it was feared that reports of the loss, said to be in the region of 70,000 bushels, would keep buy- ers away from the area. R The latest hailstorm is believed to have caused some further dam- age, which could not be checked because phone service in the var- fous areas is disrupted also by storm damage. DAMAGE AT KENDAL Kendal (Staff) -- A Kendal dis- trict farmer, Martin Foster, in- terviewed today, said he lost 75 per cent of his tobacco crop. He said he was more fortunate than some of his neighbors, who have lost all the crop. Mr. Foster stated he had 40 acres under tobacco and he was unable to estimate the valued loss Tobacco, shed' Apples This was the first hailstorm in the Kendal area this season. NEWCASTLE AREA HIT Newcas (Staff) Reports reaching here from many parts of the district indicate the dam: age is fairly widespread in this region at least. The fury of the hail smashed the plants and cuf a wide swath through the area: It is impossible to confirm re. ports because communications were also disrupted by the storm, However, people coming town confirm fears that the to- Baper growers have been hard inte This will undoubtedly lead to some unemplovment as a large number of people are sent out from Newcastle, Port Hope and Cobourg each year to harvest the crop. Bowmanville, According to some of the tobae« co men, the crop means well over $2,000,000 to the economy of the area. HEAVIEST CROP LOSS According to latest reports, about 30 tobacco growers in the Durham - Northumberland coune ties area were hit by the storm, Damage varied from 60 per cent to 100 per cent, but total damage will not be assessed until insure ance adjusters have completed their work in the fields, The apple crop has suffered, but apparently cornfields were not too hard hit. However, the crop loss is stated to be one of the heaviest on record in the area. In Kenda] it is reported that 10 farms in a two miles area years, and this is the first time hail has hit the region, INSURANCE LOSSES PORT HOPE (Staff) -- Long Brothers, insurance agents in Port Hope, said this morning the crop damage' to tobacco in the Kendal and Pontypool area is very serious. The company holds most of the storm insurance policies for the area farmers. Tom Long said the adjusters were in the fields assessing the damage but he was unable to give any estimate at at this time.
