The business mpn of Asheville snapped up the bonds. The farm federation was adding wealth to the region, thereby increasing the pros perity of Asheville, so of course Ashe ville is ready to boost the undertaking. ' m One of the Biggest. Forecasts indi cate a corn yield that will equai one of the biggest on record. Over 3,000,000,000 bushels are expected. The largest com croo of record was in 1920 when it was 3d9,000,OOOL bushels. Seed Supplies. The bur clover seed crop harvested in the South is smaller than last year. South Carolina has about as much seed as last year. Ala bama, is about 50 per cent short. Seed oats are plentiful. Rased on shipments from heavy producing areas the commercial supply of seed in 1922 is 25 per cent larger than in 1921. The total commercial supply of Southern" ry e seed is estimated by the United States Bureau of Markets at 25 to 35 per cent larger than last year. More white clover is produced in Wisconsin than any other state. Lespedeza or Japan clover is grown for seed in lower Mississippi delta m both Louisiana anbV Mississippi and some seed are harvested in northern Alabama, Southern Tennessee and Southern Arkansas. It is harvested in late October or in November and goes on the market immediately thereafter. ' ,' .. Mule Business Picks Up.

The Southern farmer paid an aver age of 83 a head UT1921 but m l. hit mules at an average of $71.50. The high water mark in prices paid by the cotton farmers tor mules was in 19ZU when tne hyw cost was $123.80 per head. Tennessee Pools Woo!. - Sixteen counties of Tennessee pooiea wool, sold 134,291 pounds, averaged, it is claimed. 7 cents a pound above tne , local markets, and thus increased tne wool growers' income $10,071.82. , Implement Exhibits at the Fairs PROBABJLY the greatest weakness m Southern agriculture from the stanj- point of economical production, next i low yields per acre, is the iacK o - y cient labor-saving" machinery in use o tnrmr.
