給農夫們的實用建議

喬治華盛頓卡佛十分瞭解貧窮的感受,他也知道如何讓每一分錢與資源發揮最大效益,在他十二歲時就已經自己負擔生活所需,包括上學所需的費用;他以經營小型洗衣店生意、在民宿中打工、經營一個小型農場賺取生活所需費用。

卡佛希望與其他非裔美國人分享自己的知識與研究結果,承諾要盡力幫助那些貧窮的黑人農夫們,給予人們相當多如何「節約與自給自足」的建議。所以當他任職於塔斯提吉學院時,便留下相當多為農夫們撰寫的教育性書籍。您想他在這些小冊子中提出哪些建議、「幫助人們度過艱困時期」?

George Washington Carver knew what it was like to be poor. He also knew how to make the most of every penny and resource. When he was 12 years old he started supporting himself. He even supported himself while going to school. He made money by running small laundry businesses, helping out in private homes, and having a small farm.

Carver wanted to share his knowledge and research with other African Americans. He was especially committed to helping poor black farmers. He had lots of advice on how to become more "thrifty and self-supporting." So when he was working at Tuskegee Institute, he wrote many educational booklets for farmers. What do you think he advised in this booklet, "Help for the Hard Times"?
