Worm Profitable For Ohio Farmer

In Mansfield Ohio Bob Bricker turns a basement full of one million worms into income. Each worm bed yields 4 to 21 offspring every 2 to 3 weeks and 1 000 worms sell for 5 to 12 dollars. Bricker, aided by a 100 000 worm order from Louisiana, projects steady profits and plans to distribute in Pakistan and other Southeast Asian markets. The piece notes varied uses for worms and Bricker’s varied past employment. It closes with a historical note on the College of St Mary Magdalen founded at Oxford in 1458.
