j When H. P. 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

From Austin domes this release.
■ Sen. Jimmy! Phillips of 'Angleton sai
today that he will introduce a bill in th
l .
Phillips said a companion bill would
be introduced in the house of representa
tives by Rep. W. K. (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.
