MARYLAND CRABS
ARE DISAPPEARING

If the facts established by recent
investigation made by the United
States Bureau of Fisheries are true
the succuent crab, once Astounding
in myriadS in the waters of this coun-
ty. is rapidly becoming extinct. 1t
is doomed to determination by the
greed Of man; its very numbers are
its greatest danger.
According to the findings of the
United States Bureau of Fisheries, the
lack of cooperation between Mary
land and Virginia eventually will lead
to the defamation, if not the total cx-
tinction, of the crab in the waters of
Maryland. This is due to the greatest
difference between the laws regulating
the crab-catching industry, passed by
the legislature of Maryland and adj
ministcred by the conservation COM
mission, and those passed by the Viz
gnia legislature
Under the Maryland law, which is
stringently enforced the female crab
is protected during the mating season
and is allowed to produce her thou
sands of eggs. The laws of Virginia
contain no such provisions.
1t is estimated that a female crab
will produce 100000 crabs in one
sponge, as the embryonic form of crab
life is termed. OF this number, at
least $4,000 are thought to reach ma
turity. After the egg matches it
passes through two stages before the
true crab shape is reached. after about
month. Three years is the average
life of crab. While there are some
exceptions, the female crab produces
only one sponge. When, as is now
the case, the mother is killed before
her young are born, il will not be
many years before crabs will be as
scarce as whales.
1t has been estimated that the So
licensed crab dredging boats of Vir-
ginia daily scoop up l32,700 female
crabs which have mated in Maryland
waters. This is during the crab sea-
son, from November to May. These
1872. 700 female crabs would, if allowed
to live, produce $4,000 hatchable
eggs.

WILL THE GROUNDING
SUPERSTITION PROVE TRUE

Wednesday of last week was Can
dlemas-or Grounding day--when all
the wiseacres and all the latter-day
prophets insist that 40 days of good
or bad weather will hang in the bal
ance Many are of the belief that the
Ltuundhog is mythical marmot, but
here is what the international Ency-
clopedia has to say about this prog
noSticator: "He is from Is to Is inches
long, blackiSh or griZzled above, chest
nut-red below, the form thick and a
trine squatty A wicked eye has the
little fellow that peers above whiskers
that are long, black and bristling.
Also he is 4 bit of loafcr; for all
winter he remains in two-room bur-
row, in lethargic state. He awak-
ems on February 2nd,as tradition says,
to crawl forth to settle the weather
problem"
When the grounding poked his nose
out his winter quartcrS-in many sec
tons, not on the Eastern Shore-at
noon last Wednesday. there was not
trace of sunshine to scare him with Il
shadow when he made his exit from
winter quarters, which means. many
believe. the end of winter.
