how many famous agricultural chemists are there?

Remember how they taught us in school that George Washington Carver thought up 300 uses for the peanut? Now that peanuts are a recognized threat in schools across the country, I thought I'd list a few things you can make from peanuts (pdf):

Axle Grease
Dehydrated Milk flakes
Insecticide
Insulation (Peanut Husks)
Mock Veal Cutlet
Nitroglycerin
Peanut Relish (2 kinds)
and my favorite: Oil, Emulsified with Mercury
