crabs Is afforded by prices at Crisfield,
the main shipping point" continued Mr..
Earle. prices for soft shell crabs have
been as high as $1.25 a dozen at Crisfield
during the season. though there was a
decline during the last few days. Only
a few years ago soft shell crabs at Girls
field sold as low as 25 and 80 cents a
dozen. In the waters of Anne Arundel
