excerpt adapted from
The Peanut Man
from America's Library
Contrary to popular belief, George Washington Carver did not
Invent peanut butter. However, he did Invent more than 300
other uses for peanuts, including peanut milk, peanut paper,
and peanut soap. Carver thought that if farmers and other
people started making things out of peanuts, they could
become more self-sufficient and would not have to rely on
manufacturers for so many of their goods. Although not many
of Carver's peanut products were ever mass-produced, he did
help spread the word about peanuts and, as a result, peanuts
became more and more popular. By 1920, there were enough
peanut farmers to form the United Peanut Association of
America (UPAA). Then, in 1921, the UPAA asked Carver to speak
to the U. S. Congress about the many uses of peanuts. Soon
enough, the whole country had heard of George Washington
Carver, the Peanut Manl And by 1940, peanuts had become one
of the top six crops in the United States.
