Fishermen along the Delaware are en-
couraged because fine shad has been
caught at Cape May Point. They say
that warm weather will make an early
season for them in this section, but that
they will not be plentiful In this county
owing to the large number of fishermen
down the stream. It's only stragglers that
find their way up as far as Florence. Local
dealers declare that Delaware shad are not
as good as those now on the market and
which come from Georgia. The polluted
condition of the Delaware river water
prevents them from running as formerly,
makes them soft and hard to keep.
