SCIENCE IN THE SADDLE

For better or worse science sits today in the saddle, or in
the drive rs seat! The creature science is driving the creato:
man madly. and it does not appear what the end will be. More
and more we are beginning to wonder what was the y'imate
significance of the Edenic parable wherein man was eager to
overstep the bounds of knowledge prescribed by a beneficent
creator. Although man in subtle ways boasts of a human aimichtiness, the fact remains he is a slave of science in ways h*
is hesi*~ant to admit, however patent may be the circumstances.

The enslavement of mankind by science is becoming more
and more obvious and more and more a matter of deep cot.cern, lest science turns upon man with a fury that may destruy
humankind from the face of the earth. The atemic develop

- the South, which seriously affects the destinies of millions of
Negroes, who heretofore have subsisted on the meager opportunities provided on the southern farms. The South with its
cotton fields and mules and Negroes is one of the dramatic
traditions of this country. Conditions are changing so fast that

Now come reports of the agricultural revolution pending in,

the balance between equipment and hundreds is being gradually
upset and this upset seriously interferes with the Negro~s sur

of Negroes live in the South. The extent therefore that the
mechanization of the South destroys the future of the Southern
Negroes is the extent that it destroys the future of the Negro
~race in the United States.

~ Some davs ago while en route to Chicago I chanced to talk |

with one-of the great western farmers who owns a farm of |,000 acres. He said that there was not a mule or horsm on the
entire farm. Everything was done by tractors and electricity.
A 1,000-acre farm without a horse or mule is a new phenomenon and just as these have been displaced_so the farm workers
are being gradually displaced. If 1,000 acres can be tended
without a work animal, it is barely possible that such tract may
be tended with a small fraction of workers who now subsist
there.. Nat Caldwell, a student of economics and reporter for the

Nashville Tennessean says: ~For the Negro millions, displacemeni by machines may be enforced. For the white nations |
who will be pushed off the farms a possible rapid industrialization of the South offerg great hope for the absorption in their
own region.~~

He contends that. the rise of farm machinery has been
spectacular. Says he: ~The lion~s share of the advance public- |
ity has gone to a trio of flashy monsters, the machine cotton |
picker, the self-propelled combine for rice, wheat and ~other,
crops and the sugar cane harvester. All three of these giant)~
machines are well past the experimental~stage. The cotton
picker alone, is. not eut in mass production.

~In space of five years the production and harvest of
sugar cane in Louisiana jumped 80 per cent of the distance from
mule and human kand to complete machine production. Rice
went half the distance. Rice machinery has taken already its
toll of thousands of farm jobs in Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas. Mechanical potato and peanut diggers soon may be in
lerge scale use. Production of soy beans, oats, grain sorghum
