there.These farmers had a big problem.Their cotton crops were smaller every year,so the farmers had less and less money.Carver knew that growing the same crop again and again had worn out the soil.He taught the farmers to add dead leaves and plants to the soil to help it.He also taught them to plant sweet potatoes,peas,or peanuts.These crops put things back into the soil that plants need to grow well.Children helped pick cotton on a Mississippi plantation in the late 1800s.Carver held a chunk of soil from a worn-out field.George Washington Carver Level L910Making a DifferenceIn 1896,Carver

L1112Farmers needed a way to sell these new crops.Carver invented more than a hundred ways to use sweet potatoes and three hundred ways to use peanuts!New uses meant new products.New products meant new items for farmers to sell.Carver invented up to 300 uses for the peanut:pavement,grease,medicines,peanut coffee,peanut mayonnaise,peanut flour,peanut milk,shoe polish,bleach,sandpaper,and more.Contrary to popular belief,however,he did not create peanut butter.A Native American tribe is known to have eaten a paste made from peanuts more than 500 years ago.It wasnt as creamy as the tasty goo we eat today,though.The Truth About Peanut ButterCarver at workGeorge Washington Carver Level L1112Farmers needed a way to sell these new crops.Carver invented more than a hundred ways to use

black.After his ten minutes,however,they asked him to speak more.In the end,Congress passed a law to help U.S.peanut farmers.Carver became very famous,and crowds gathered to hear him speak.He could have made lots of money,but he thought helping people was more important.He believed ideas should be free and freely given.Carver spoke to members of Congress.Once Carver became famous,he met other famous men.Here he stood with Henry Ford,founder of Ford Motor Company,in 1938.George Washington Carver Level L1314Ideas Are FreeIn 1921,Carver was asked to speak for ten minutes before the
