From Ames in 1s97-Preduesd Flour
Substitute and Rubber From sweet
Petata-Estraetsd New Stains, Inks,
Cesu,ssies and Water Celors.

Ames, Feb. 2S-Rated as one OF the
foremost negro educators Of the world,
and a recognized leader in scientific
research work. George w. Carver, pro-
lessor OF Tuskegee institute and a
graduate from Iowa State college with
the class of 1897, recently refused a
salary said to be $4,000 year and
offered him by Thomas Edison. This
information has been Received by Fred
Mum, in an article taken from the
American Lumberman of a recent date,
which tells in detail some Of the scien :
tinc feats accomplished by Prof Car
yer
Professor Carver is well remembered
by several Ames men who were in the
81 graduating class from Iowa State
College. Carver took agriculture while
here and received his degree in that
division, Following his graduation, he
worked as an assistant with Prof. LII.
Pammel, head of the department OF
botany. In about 1899 he took up a
position with the Tuskegee institute.
Once when the noted negra Booker
T. Washington gave an address here,
he referred to Professor Carver as "one
of the greatest men God ever made. .
The article from the Lumberman
states that Professor Carver. when
offered the huge salary of $4,000 a
year, at once refused it, saying that he
preferred to stay at Tuskegee and con-
tinue with his work there in industrial
chemistry. His work there is likely to
be Of immense value to the entire
south, the article states.
It was Professor Carver who produced
the potato -four which the government
took UP as substitute for wheat. He
made a formidable lists Of extracts from
the sweet potato, which apparently is
one Of his favorite subjects of study.
Among other Of his accomplishments,
Professor Carver has succeeded in Sec
uring rubber from the sweet potato;
has done much work with the distinc
tive clays Of Mason county. Ca. pro-
duced colors similar to the cold water
paints on the market. and extracted
inks and cosmetics. In addition to
these things. Professor Carver has de-
voted a great deal Of time to the study
Of soils and to make them produce
crops.
