Exercise 2: Read the text and choose the best answer. Although both Luther Burbank and George Washington Carver drastically changed American agriculture and were close friends besides, their methods of working could hardly have been more dissimilar. Burbank’s formal education ended with high school, but he was inspired by the works of Charles Darwin. In 1872, on his Trang 9
  10. farm near Lunenberg, Massachusetts, he produced his first “plant creation” – a superior potato developed from the Early Rose variety. It still bears his name. After moving to Santa Rosa, California, in 1875, Burbank created a stream of creations, earning the nickname “the plant wizard.” He developed new varieties of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other plants, many of which are still economically important. He began his work some thirty years before the rediscovery of Gregor Mendel’s work on heredity, and while he did not participate in the developing science of plant genetics, his work opened the country’s eyes to the productive possibilities of plant breeding. However, the value of his contributions was diminished by his methods. He relied on his keen memory and powers of observation and kept records only for his own use. He thus thwarted attempts by other scientists to study his achievements. Carver, on the other hand, was a careful researcher who took thorough notes. Born a slave, he attended high school in Kansas, Simpson College in Iowa, and Iowa State College, which awarded him a master’s degree. When the eminent black educator Booker T. Washington offered him a position at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, he accepted. While Burbank concentrated on developing new plants, Carver found new uses for existing ones. He produced hundreds of synthetic products made from the soybean, the sweet potato, and especially the peanut, helping to free Southern agriculture from the tyranny of cotton. 1.
