    No.

    From the cron man page:

    …cron will then examine the modification time on all crontabs
    and reload those which have changed. Thus cron need not be restarted
    whenever a crontab file is modified

    But if you just want to make sure its done anyway,

    sudo service cron reload
    

    or

    /etc/init.d/cron reload
