TO ENFORCE GRABBING LAW.
Maryland and Virginia to Prohibit
Grabbing in Winter.

At the conference held recently by the
sea food commissions of the states OF
Maryland and Virginia it was decided to
take firm stand for laws to prohibit
winter dredging of female crabs as q
means to prevent the determination OF
the crab in Chesapeake bay and its
tributaries. The commissions also agreed
to recommend the adoption of standard
tub for measuring oysters that shall be
twenty-one and one-half inches. There
is now no uniformity in the size of the
tubs used, as the laws of Maryland and
Virginia differ. Besides the members of
the fisheries commissions of the two
states, representatives of the United
States bureau of fisheries and of the
United States engineer offices at Balti-
more and Washington, were present at
the conference.
