heights that the price Is almost pro-

Delaware shad, too. are getting
scarcer every year. and last season
none Of the fishermen made much
money There are several reasons for
this. one that not many young shad
are now placed ia the river. while
years ago there were, as many as a

another, that there were So many nets
