Age IS Vote

for Students

AOSllN lex. - (U.D - Stu
dents at the University of Texas
aren't so sure about this voting
proposal for l8-year-olds.
Talk on the campus favors
lowering the voting age, but
Alhpa Phi Omega, national serv-

alone did not reveal student
opinion and took a student
opinion poll.
The total showed As per cent
in favor of 18-year-eld voting;
40.8 per cent against, and others
undecided.
Classified by sex, the vote
h owed the proposal more
strongly favored by the girls
than the boys. BY schools, early
voting had the strongest support
N the School of Education, least
in the law school. .--
BY age, the greatest percent

year olds, however, only 43 s

students wanted to vote.

II was noted that the civilian
students were more anxious to

U S Producing
More Food from
Shrunken Farms

CHICAGO - W.H - Four
million farms will produce a
third more food in 1850 than
did the 100000 farms prior 10
the present war, said Theodore
Schultz, University OF Chicago
agricultural economist.
Never before in history has
society been so near to having
enough food for so many peo-
pie" Prof. Schultz said. Since
the war alone, agricultural pro-
duction in the United States has
been increased fully one-fourth
while the number of farms has
shrunk perhaps one-tenth; farm
population declined one-sixth
and the farm labor supply lost
much in quantity and quality"
Forces affecting growth of the
demand for farm products are
slowing down. Schultz said.
First, the population that buys
the bulk of farm products raised
in western countries is increas-
ing at a slower rate than form
erly. Second, people-as they
become richer-spend proper
tionately less of their income for
consumer goods.
I'm a real sense, the new
knowledge about nutrition is a
new element in shaping the de-
mand," he said. AS the years
60 on, it is likely to lessen the
demand for food by increasing
efficiency"
Prof. Schultz said the effects
on income in certain trading
countries will be decidedly ad-
verse unless people migrate from
the farm to other opportunities.
Since the turn Of the century
the proportion of the working
engaged in agricul-
ture in the United States has
dropped from about 81 to IS
per cent; in Canada. from 40 to
% per cent; in Sweden, from
so to SO per cent; in Japan, from
70 TO less than so per cent.
