Currituck Farmers to Plant Late Watermelons Where Frost Killed Off Their Potato Crop, May 12, 1922

Currituck Farmers Will Plant Late Watermelons

Currituckians are going to make use of the land on which their frost despoiled early potatoes were planted, by putting it in a crop of watermelons. Many farmers in lower Currituck are planting their melons this week.

Late watermelons coming off the latter part of August and September usually bring a good price.
