花生專家
卡佛創造出多種以花生為原料的副產品，寫下超過三百種花生的妙用方法，包含花生牛奶、紙張、肥皂等等，他認為如果農夫們開始製作以花生為原料的副產品，就能減少必須購買的東西、也更能自給自足；如果其他人也開始這麼做，其他人就必須買更多的花生，那麼農人們就能賺進更多錢。雖然卡佛發明的許多副產品都未能進入大量製造的階段，但的確讓更多人對花生的功用更為瞭解。
Carver invented all kinds of things made out of peanuts. He wrote down more than 300 uses for peanuts, including peanut milk, peanut paper, and peanut soap. Carver thought that if farmers started making things out of peanuts, they'd have to buy fewer things and would be more self-sufficient. And if other people started making things out of peanuts, they would want to buy the extra peanuts, so the farmers would make more money. Although not many of Carver's peanut products were ever mass-produced, he did help spread the word about peanuts.
