Letter from G. S. Fraps to Mr. D. W. Kempner discussing the excess quantity of worms in Kempner's soil which may be caused by the soil containing a large amount of organic matter, suggesting to discontinue the use of manure while collecting grass clippings to satisfactorily decrease the worm population. Fraps further states he will be in Galveston on May 30 and 31 where he will be glad to look at the ground if Kempner desires.
