Bulloch County Boy Tops 1924 Georgia Corn Growers
Paul Motes of Bulloch County is named state champion corn raiser for 1924 after producing 140.4 bushels on one acre at 27.2 cents per bushel. Under County Farm Agent W. D. Hillis guidance, the acre was deeply tilled, subsoiled, and fertilized with stable manure and 10-2-3 mix. Net profit estimated at 102.10 dollars after rent, seed, and cultivation costs. A August drought reduced yields slightly.
