CRABS ARE PLENTIFUL.
POCOMOKE SOUND FULL OF THEN
AND MYRIADS OF SMALL ONES.

Crisfeld, Nd. Aug. 25.-For some
time it has been thought that crabs
would be scarce this season because so
many of them were killed by the cold
weather of last Winter. The fact Of the
matter is that crabs are plentiful this
Summer as ever before. the season has
been more profitable than usual, and
the fears that the crabs wo6ld be
scarce were without foundation. The
destruction of so many old crabs dur
ing the cold weather seems to have
given the smaller ones better chance
20 develop. The crabs were late IN ar
irving. but when they did appear in
PocOmoke sound the like of small
crabs was never seen before, ranging
from the size of a button up. Boats
could catch nrem two to three thousand
per day, and It took from FIVE to six
to make an average-sized crab. Grabs
are here to stay, and they could not
, be destroyed unless the seas could be
drained dry.
George b. Sterling, an intelligent and
dnterprising crabber OF Crisfeld states
that after a very cold spell soma year,
ago he saw dead crabs along the shors
Of Tangfer sound in winGrows exbend.
ing from Great Point to Cedar Straits
There were masses OF dsad erRbs
twelve feet wide After the freeze sl
last Winter he saw great numbers q.
dead crabs along the banks OF jenkins
creek and the shores Of the sound. AL
the erabbers OF Crisfeld could testify
to the destructive effects OF cold
weather upon crabs.
