The AAA crowd lately has been essing the point that al] its erop control programs have the overwhelming support of the farm or¢ involved; that it wouldn’t ever think of imposing anything the farmer didr’t want; and ‘that it will be more scrupulous than ever in holding referenda to determine whether the farmers do want to z 0 in on the plans AAA says are goods for them. It all sounds downright virtuous and in any event is an effective anewor to the propagandist who save the farmer is being regiment od and enslaved by bureaucratic control But it's rather a gsham battle, be eanse evervhody knows the farm ors want what they’re getting from AAA. They just adore those higher arices and those benefit payments which offer them an incentive %o cut their acreages.

Carlisle Cobb Tests A Theory And Wins On It By DAN MAGILL - Carlisle Cobb goes to the next legislature from Clarke county as probably the only man who ever ran for a simiiar office without soliciting - a single vote—in faet, that was his major issue. Carlisle’s race was the feature of yesterday’s primary, outside of the governor’s race, and his feat has caused more after-primary talk than anything else today. Carl!ele’si friends time after time urged him to “get out and ask for vetes”, but he refusued to do it. So many times did he refuse that some of then finally resigned themselves and Carlisle to the fate of all can- | didates who do not get out and| see the voters, while one staunch | supporter summed up hig indigna- | tion at Carlisle’s apparent lack of’ political understanding with thg remark, “Carlisle will LET _yoy vote for him, but he wants you to distinetly understand that vou are doing it on principle”. And when their candidate refused to spend election day at the polls, shaking hands with the voters and slapping them on the back, his friends gave up in despair. “He's a goner!” they said. While 'Carlisle himself was probably at home, or in his of fice, reading a treatise on some ab stract subject.
