The South badly needed the new agricultural technique. The land was worn out by cotton growing because cotton drains the soil of its nutrients. Carver advised planting cotton one year, then soil-enriching peanuts or sweet potatoes the next. Southern farmers followed his lead to great success, yielding peanut surpluses that many used to feed livestock. Carver also famously developed more than 300 uses for peanuts, from ink to hand lotion to cooking oil. While the common myth that he invented peanut butter is untrue, he did help popularize the food. Even President Theodore Roosevelt asked for Carver's advice on agricultural matters.
