WORMS As TILLERs OF SOIL
Estimated There Are $4,000 Of Insects
In Each Acre Of Garden-Earth
Brought to Surface.

As tillers Of the soil. earth worms
constitute a great army. It Is estima.
ted that there are $4,000 worms In
each acre Of garden soil. and about
half that number in cornfields. Nine
burrows or worm holes are usually
found In two square feet Of garden
soil. II ia further computed that in all
cultivated lands in which worms are
able to live no less than ten tons of
earth are brought to the surface in
each acre by the worms each year.
Worm burrows are frequently found
extending for FIVE or six feet down
below the surface. Since they feed
largely upon vegetable matter and
since various acids. which are called
humic. are generated by the digestion
OF such matter. worms must affect the
quality Of the soil to that extent. for
the humic acid plays n far moro i'm.
portant part In the disintegration of
rocks and the production Of proper
soil than does carbonic acid. itself
known to be a powerful agent. The
tillage Of worms Is thus chemical as
well as mechanical in its effect upon
the soil.
