CRABS ARE REPORTED SCARCE.
The Succulent Morsels Are Very
Hard To Find This
Season.

1t is pract .cally impossible for the
local dealers to secure crabs in suffi-
cient quantities to care for the trade
Never before in the history of the crab
industry were the crabs known to be
so scarce. Crabbers who have made
fairly good livings in years gone by
find great difficulty in securing sufli-
cient number of the crabs TO pay boat
hire.
In addition to the crabs being scarce
those which are caught are small of
an inferior nature. South river. which
generally yields good catches is amost
barren and gives no promise of inn
provement. Those who have watched
the crab business closely lay the fault
for the scarcity of crabs at the door
of the cTabbers about Norfolk and vi
cinity. The spawning grounds are To-
Gated about the capes for the most
part and the young crabs make their
way up the bay from that point. The
down the bay crabbers, alive to this
fact. have begun to dredge for crabs
summer and winter.
In this manner they have been en-
abled to keep Baltimore and other
market points as we'll supplied in win
ter as in summer to the loss of those
who engage in the business during the
regular season. Grabs of but two in
ches in size are sold as marketable and
are used for soups when n few sheds
would have added greatly to their
growth and made when regular size.

greater figure than three hundred, but
