Smith of the AAM Agricultural Engineering Depart ment makes a apeoch, the King of Egypt wants a copy. The Egyp tian ruler has [entered a request for one of Smithj'a speeches through Seton Ross, managing editor of ^ the Cotton Tijade Journal. In a recent letter to Smith, Ross !! said, “My pal King Furouk, I of i Egypt is asking mo to supply him with a copy of some recent ( talks you have made on mechanization.” | A post script at the end of the letter assured Smith that “this is not a gag.” Smith, who is just as surprised as anybody at the request, isn’t quite sure why King Farouk wants f! r a speech or why the King chose his speeches. It’s quite possible, Smith admits, that the land of the !j mummies and the pyramids is launching a program of agricul tural mechanization, for latest ra tions accepted the [war crimes trials as a the lead to establish a legal prescedent new twist to the Old, procedure of lining regarding participants in future wars— up unvictoriods military and political lead- nations, civilians, and soldiers, era iha kitting them.

(Bill) Tippen of Abi- farming methods almost primitive as those used before the time of the pharaohs. This is not the first time, though, that Smith has received recognition from foreign lands. One of his articles, “Production of Cotton in thT United States,” was published in the July, 1947,! edition of The Empire Cotton Growing Review, a magazine printed in England. The A&M prof thinks that King Farouk might have gotten a copy of that article and based his request on it. There are several possible solu tions to the question, since Smith has written several mafgazino arti cles, any of which might have been.! brought to the Egyptian king’s at tention. In addition to these maga zine articles, ho h*s written one textbook, Farm Machinery and Equipment, and numerous bulletins. ! Smith, besides being well-versed in all phases of cotton production, has contributed grejatly to the de velopment of several types of ag ricultural machinery. A list of hfs achievements along this line runs, from the invention of a cotton Stripper to the perfection of a jjarlic digger. The professor, inventor, and au thor has been at A&M since 1919 When he started as an associate professor of the college. By 1930, he rose to the position of chief of ~r the Division of Agricultural Engi neering of the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station. He assumed his present job as professor of agricultural engineering in the Agricultural Experiment Station in 1947. A member of several profession al societies, Smith received his B. S. in agriculture from Mississippi State College in 1917, his M. S. from A&M in 1926, and his pro fessional degree in Agricultural Engineering from A&M in 1940. Hie Largest . . .
