Not every resident of Florida knows
what a superior dish for the table is
stone crab. 1t is to Southern waters
what the lobster is to the Northern.
George Livote OF Pass-a-Grille, fenced
in ? portion of Boca Ciega Bay some
time ago and planted his water farm
with stone crabs to prevent the ex-
tinction of the species. He is study
ing their wants and habits and be-
lieves he can largely increase their
number yearly. Capt Cason of Pass
a-Grille is preparing to fence in
second stone crab farm of large pro-
portions. There is an enormous de-
mand for the stone crab from the
numerous visitors TO the island, and
the supply, though great, is being
rapidly depleted. Florida Times
