IS BOWLER'S WHARF, Va, March IL
The recent heavy rains have made the
water In the Rappahannock River rs far
down as this point very muddy ana
fresh, which If continued Will prove very
destructive to oysters For the past two
sea sons oysters have died In this part
OF the river from the spring freshets to
a great extent. While tho price this sea-
son up to January the 18th was higher
than for n number of years past. planters
have realized little. and in some cases
nothing, owing to the decrease IN the
Yield OF bushels. Since the middle OF
January the market has been sluggish
and very little demand. On the whole, the
season has not been q profitable one for
planters nor packers IN the up-river sec
lions OF oysters.
Farmers are taking advantage OF the
spring days. but owing to wet season
are a little behind with their work, The
bulk OF the pea crop was not planted UNI
til last week. This crop Is raised very
extensively In this section, principally for
the Baltimore market. but some being
sold to home canneres.
Tho river is being threaded with fish
traps and nets. but up to this time the
