plow without the necessity ol
hitching a mule to it.
The boy Is J. V. Boyett, 20 years
of age, of Morris Station, Quitman
county, now a student apprentice
at the Georgia Tech. Hla Invention
so simple and built on such prac
tical lines that experts who have
seen the model declare It will do tho
work. As for tho hoy himself, ho
has tried It In the field, and known
It will. He has applied for a patent.
The moter plow, of one-mule pow
er, for that It what It Is, consists
simply of a single board, lugged
traction wheel, to which tho power
communicated by' a small engine
like those used on motorcycles. The
Mutch anti complete controla are In
the plow-handle*.
Boyett was assisted In perfecting
the invention by his eighteen-year
old brother, Eugene, who Is hla Part,
ner In the venture. ,
He declares that the machine can
he built for less than the cost of a
good mule, and will cost leas after
wards to operate and keep up.
That a 20-ycar-old farmer boy In
vented this motor plow Is a source
a pride to all eorgians who have
heard of It.
