Albert C. Bentor, member of the Farm Security Administration Advisory committee of St. Clair county, made the statement this wee that the strength of the Democratic form of government is reflected in the way in which small farmers have cooperated with the administration’s program which makes it possible for them to produce their share of the vast amount of food needed to win this war. This program makes it possible for every farmer, no matter how small his acreage, to feel he has a real stake in democracy and wants to do his part.
