| SMART PEOPLE ON WORM CASTINGS
Charles Darwin: "Worms seem to be the great promoters of vegetation, perforating and loosening the soil, rendering it pervious to rains and the fibers of plants by drawing straws and stalks of leaves and twigs into it; and most of all, by throwing up such infinite numbers of lumps of earth called worm casts, which being their excrement, is a fine manure for grain and grass. The earth without worms would soon become cold, hard-bound, and void of fermentation and consequently sterile." Darwin: "It may be doubted whether there are many other animals which have played so important a part in the history of the world as these lowly organized creatures." Cleopatra named the worm a sacred creature, whose removal from Egypt was punishable by death. The Nile Valley is said to be the most fertile tract of land on the earth. Thomas J. Barrett: "The worms literally serve as colliod mills to produce the intimate chemical and mechanical mixture of fine organic and inorganic matter which forms their castings. In the mixing which takes place in the alimentary canal of the worms, the ingested materials undergo chemical changes, deodorization and neutralization, so that the resultant castings are a practically neutral humus, rich in water soluble plant food, immediately available for plant nutrition."
