leaves which he has dragged under
ground to eat.
Before making his meal he softens
the leaf by means of juice which
he secretes; then he devours it, eat
ing at the same time quantities of
earth. The cast which he SUISSE
quently leaves ON the surface of the
ground consists not of sand or Of
clay, but of mixture of these and
vegetable matter; it is true soil.
: Once soil has been made it must
be turned over frequently, or it
grows sour. That is why we dig our
gardens and pillow our fields. Ages
before man invented the spade or
the pillow, the humble worm was till
ing the soil, keeping it sweet, and
making it richer and more fertile.
In gardens there are about $4,000
worms to each acre, while in the
fields every acre contains about 3d.
900 of them.
By collecting and carefully weigh
ing all the casts thrown up on a
measured piece of ground over a
long period, Darwin arrived at the
amazing result that worm-casts raise
the level of the whole land one-ffth
of an inch a year!
More wonderful still, the work of
worms throws up no less than ten
tons of soil in the form Of casts on
each acre of .land during a single
year. In small fve-a acre field the
worm population brings to the sur
face no less than fifty carloads of
the finest soil in twelve monthsl
The most important OF all crea-
lures, then, is the lowly worm, on
whose labors all the rest depend for
their food.
If he were to die out, the whole
earth would, in short space Of time,
become a great silent, lifeless Sa-
hara.

Worm Is Called
Mans Superior


"There isn't scientist in the
world who does not agree that if the
earthworm was destroyed the world
would become sterile and the people
Of this world would be starving in
seven years. He is the one neces-
sary creature in Gods world. He
fertilizes the land covers the bare
rocks with earth. He is the surest
friend of mankind that we know
These amazing statements are
made by character in "The Man
Who Hated Earthworms," publish
ed in an English magazine.
The whole world barren but for
the action of the humble earthworml
An astonishing statement, yet it is
no exaggeration.
Without them the whole world
would be a dreary, lifeless expanse
OF rocks gravel, sand and clay. The
only inhabitants of the world would
be the fish and other water crea-
lures.
Such was the case millions of
years ago, when, first Of all crea-
lures, the worms crawled out from
the seas to try existence upon dry
land.
The great peculiarly of the worm
is that he eats his way under
ground, filing his body with small
particles, from which he is able to
extract nourishment in a very won
derful way He has a gizard much
like that of the fowl, and in it he
makes use of'small hard stones, just
as the fowl does, to act as grinders.
The result is that the particles which
pass in through his mouth are soon
ground to the finest powder, from.
which his intestines extract all the
food that his body needs.
When the grinding and digestive
processes are complete, he returns
to the surface and discharges in the
form of the familiar worm-cast all
the matter that is useless for food.
Thus every worm is tiny living
mil, constantly engaged in grinding
up clay and sand until they are fine
enough to become soil. Vegetable
matter must be mixed with them,
and this again the worm does for us.
You have probably often noticed
a leaf sticking out of the burrow
which worm has made in lawn
or howerbed. This is the door of
his home; he likes to plug his hole
in this way.
If you move the soil very careful
ly you will find portions of other

the slopes to catch the washed soil
make good breaks for filing gullies.
Larger gullies and bitches should
have more substantial breaks, espe-
cially where damage is apt to be
heavy. Piles of stones at intervals
serve satisfactorily for this purpose.
In extreme cases it is advisable to
put in concrete work to stop soil
washing.

STOPPING GULLIES PREVENTS
FURTHER EROSION OF FIELDS

Fall and winter rains which will
soon start gullies in many fields on
Kentucky farms make it necessary
for farmers to take immediate steps
to stop the erosion if they wish to
prevent further damage to their
land, soils and crops experts say.
At the present time there are ap-
proximately 100000 acres of erod-
ed land in the state, an acreage that
should be decreased rather than in
creased if farms of the state are to
continue to produce big yields Of
crops. Few valuable plants or crops
will thrive on quilted fields, the spe-
cialists say.
Since the season for the seeding
Of cover crops is past for the year
it will be necessary for farmers to
take other means to stop gullies in
their fields, according to R. E. Ste
phenson, soils specialist at the Col
lege of Agriculture. Small gullies
may be filed with brush, straw, bril-
ara, weeds, waste fodder or any
other coarse material available. &C.
