and soil. He developed and invented many different uses for peas, sweet potatoes and peanuts. George Washington Carver originally had a lot of background information on agriculture. His parents and his master provided knowledge as a child about farming on the plantations. He had an immediate interest in plants and soil so he went on into adulthood to major in these topics. He invented food items from peanuts that would provide stable sources of protein. Carver was a talented student in…
Together with other agricultural experts, he urged farmers to restore nitrogen to their soils by practicing systematic crop rotation: alternating cotton crops with plantings of sweet potatoes or legumes (such as peanuts, soybeans and cowpeas). These crops both restored nitrogen to the soil and were good for human consumption. Following the crop rotation practice resulted in improved cotton yields and gave farmers alternative cash crops. To train farmers to successfully…
• Natural/Organic Turkey Bacon: I ate turkey bacon for breakfast, because it’s good and it’s a better choice than a regular bacon. Not only is it less calories, it’s less oily and I don’t eat pork or beef. Yes it is less protein, than a regular bacon but still a better choice for someone like me. This information is something I already knew in the past, but I did a websearch for the class. One website I used was bestfoodfacts.org, which shows the difference between the two bacons. As for…
dizziness is two of the things I don’t look forward to in the morning before I even plant my feet on the ground, but they are roaring and ready to give me a hell of a time. My little peanut, I refer to my unborn baby is seven weeks this week and I honestly don’t know what we’re having just yet, so I refer to him/her as “Peanut”. I’m adding to the crew, we already have; three boys and a girl. They say that every pregnancy is different and I am here to defiantly here to say that this time around…

The Peanut Man Have you ever used peanut soap or peanut shaving cream? Or perhaps you’ve used peanut lotion.

Throughout his lifetime, George Washington Carver discovered about 300 new uses for the peanut and ultimately changed the way we think about agriculture today. He was a botanist, an innovator, an educator, but most importantly, he was an inspiration.…
sourced at the Blakely, GA Peanut Corporation of America, or PCA, plant. On January 30, 2007 the Food and Drug Administration, or FDA, confirmed salmonella in the Peter Pan Peanut Butter. In approximately mid-February, the Centers for Disease Control, or CDC, reported 550 people being sickened by the salmonella in 43 states with possibly 8 deaths.

George Washington Carver George Washington Carver, who left an impact as immense as coffee, was a truly fascinating individual. Being the man who could invent anything out of household foods, Carver made the peanut what it is today. He worked his way to the top of the food chain. However, it was not easy. While George Washington Carver’s childhood and career were filled with agonizing troubles, he eventually obtained fame and left an astonishing legacy. Although Carver was a very successful…
have a lower GUD compared to a less desirable food source. In short, the experiment successfully rejected the null hypothesis. There was a significant disparity between the foraging of peanuts vs sunflower seeds. The t-test test was able to provide a p-value that was statically significant. This shows that peanuts were the more eaten food source by squirrels in the area we tested. In the first three trials, squirrels continued foraging well past the elapsed time of the trial. This suggests that…
Petrified Woman in Welty’s Petrified Man The Petrified Man takes place in the Deep South back in the 1930’s. Society at that time and place had very strong beliefs regarding the role of male and female and the institution of traditional marriage. I see Leota breaking the gender norm of the female by having feelings for another female and exhibiting tradition male "feelings" for a female. This story is interesting as the only mention of male characters during the whole story is the main…
