Fresh Vegetables Becoming Scarce in Cabarrus County Due to Drought, Aug., 29, 1924

Fresh vegetables are becoming mighty scarce in Cabarrus county now due to the prolonged drought. Truck farmers declare they would have had a big supply of vegetables for Concord if there had been rain enough to keep them alive. The vegetables have been virtually burned up during the excessively hot and dry days of the past several weeks. Throughout this part of the State there has been little rain recently while in Guilford and adjoining counties there has been much rain, according to reports reaching Concord.
