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
Man! And by 1940, peanuts had become one of the top
six crops in the United States.
