Dillon Boy Leads In Corn Production
Claude McDonald of Pleasant Hill, born near Dillon in 1894, produced 210 4 7 bushels of corn per acre on a test plot. A Clemson professor confirmed the record after investigation, noting the prize for 1911 would go to the 17 year old. He used extensive plowing, manure, fertilizer, and careful cultivation, with total expenses around 70 dollars and a net profit estimated at 140 dollars at current corn prices. He traveled to Washington for recognition by Secretary Wilson and Taft.
