Corn Fed. All of this proves that the farm situation is neither economically nor politically as explosive as the clamor would indicate. Farm-state Congressmen who joined the stampede to vote for the Democrats' ill-conceived farm bill (TIME, April 23) have received relatively little mail about the President's veto. The reaction has been selective, largely by crop. Many Southern farmers are angry because the support prices on cotton and peanuts will be considerably below last year's. There is some anger and disappointment among wheat farmers because the wheat price support announced by the President...
...Letter. Daniel-Rops had the idea for his encyclopedia last year, when he noticed how questions about matters of faith were crowding his mail. "I became conscious that the public wanted spiritual culture," he explains. "I had to find a way to answer them...

Tellier plugged his penny uranium stocks as "a ground-floor opportunity," "the best buy in 20 years." "You can't lose-you're investing in a sure thing," his high-pressure salesmen promised investors.

Half way through, the picture does pick up a loose plot. After watching a movie about mail delivery in America, the letter carrier decides to modernize his own haphazard methods. But when he takes his job seriously, he scatters leisurely groups of chickens, geese, and villagers in all directions as he races through his route. In the end, American efficiency looses out to the slower pace of France, and peace returns to the village. But the interval of madness, while it lasts, is very entertaining...
