The farmers who own the largo tract of land in Essex which was in November last flooded by salt water owing to a break down of a sea wall, may think of this adage when they ruefully look at their sodden ground.

That land, mea9urina about 50.000 acres, is still in a spongy state, and i9 likely to re main so until the farmers' friends the worms have had time to recover their lost position.
