给农夫们的实用建议
乔治华盛顿卡佛十分瞭解贫穷的感受，他也知道如何让每一分钱与资源发挥最大效益，在他十二岁时就已经自己负担生活所需，包括上学所需的费用；他以经营小型洗衣店生意、在民宿中打工、经营一个小型农场赚取生活所需费用。
卡佛希望与其他非裔美国人分享自己的知识与研究结果，承诺要尽力帮助那些贫穷的黑人农夫们，给予人们相当多如何「节约与自给自足」的建议。所以当他任职于塔斯提吉学院时，便留下相当多为农夫们撰写的教育性书籍。您想他在这些小册子中提出哪些建议、「帮助人们度过艰困时期」？
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"?
