Excerpt from Jan Smuts: Being a Character Sketch of Gen. The Hon. J. C. Smuts, K. C., M.L.A., Minister of Defence Union of South Africa

 Between the seas that wash the Cape and the sun-baked stretches of the vast Karroo there lies a belt of fertile country, known as the Western Province. In summer it is buffeted by the boisterous trades. In winter the north west wind caps the coastal ranges with generous clouds, and in the intervals of glorious sunshine rain drenches hill and dale. This is the land of the vine, the land of the golden grain. It is the land of which an ex-member of the Union Assembly spoke when he said that the first twelve inches of the soil between the Hex River and the sea were worth more than all the deep levels of the Rand put together. Its beauty, now smiling, now rugged, haunts the memory of him whose lines are cast in less pleasant places. Its oaks are mighty, its pines statuesque.
