Robert Williams, the undis-
puted worm king of the
southwest, has taken a project
that few people understand
and made It Into a worthwhile
business.
In January of 1955 Williams
started raising rabbits and put
worms under the hutches to
help keep it more sanitary.
It wasn’t too long before he
realized that the worms had
a better future than the rabbit
business.
In 1957 the business had
grown to such an extent that
Williams had to retire from
his position as printer at the
Dallas Times Herald so that
he could devote more time to
his worm business.
Mrs. Jollnda Williams, who
has been a part of the business
from the beginning said that the
Oakhaven Farms probably has
the largest mail order worm
business in the United States
and that they have mailed
worms to every state as well
as Canada, Alaska, and New-
foundland.
The worms raised at Oak-
haven are the Red - Gold
Hybrid, a trade name used
only by Oakhaven and are
easily raised if properly cared
for.
The worms are raised In
pits composed of dirt and hay
and are watered and fed and
cared for In the pits.
Mrs. Williams said that
worms are bl- sexual and one
will multiply itself 300 to 500
times in one year.
The Williams have 80 pits on
1/4 acre of land.
Miles Langley and his wife
Dorothy work fulltime at Oak-
haven In the pits and count-
ing the worms and preparing
them for shipping.
At the busiest times of the
year, from January to May,
Walter Pittman Is called in
to help.
Mrs. Zelma McPlke and
Mrs. Williams are kept busy
in the office by the large
volume of mail that comes to
Oakhaven daily.
Customers who purchase
breeding stock from Oakhaven
may take advantage of a
special customer service by

help a child by encouraging
acceptance of community res-
ponsibility.’
Mrs. Gilbert Wolfe will
bring the devotional.
Mrs. Sylvia Jones, presi-
dent of the PTA, urges all
parents to attend and said that
television would be available

meeting.
writing for information or help
with any problem encountered
In their new business.
Williams has written a book
called “How to Sell Fish-
worms By Mall’’ and thou-
sands of copies of the book
have been sold.
The worms are sold by the
thousands and the smallest
amount mailed Is 500.
Mrs. Williams said that
during the first three months
of the year sometimes Oak-
have n will mall millions of
worms.
The orders for worms come
from ads ran in approximately
100 magazines of every type.
