SHAn e5 YEARS AFTER.

Twenty-Five years ago this week
the receipts OF fish IN one day in Bal
timore totaled 1000 barrels. Most
abundant were shad. which retailed
on the street at from Ave TO fourteen
cents apiece.
Today not enough shad are being
received in Baltimore TO supply the
local demand. They are so scarce
that they sell by the pound. The five-
cent shad Of twenty five years ago is
worth over a dollar. The fourteen
cent shad OF twenty-five years ago Is
worth over two dollars.
Here we have a concrete illustra-
ton OF the tragic decay OF our fish
supply. Long was IL our boast that
the Chesapeake could feed millions.
Baltimore sent fish by the car load
North and West. II had its special
oyster trains. Yesterday leading fish
dealers said they had not enough
shad in sight TO even quote a price
TO an outside customer. The oyster
catch dwindled from 10000. 900 BUSH

the crab industry Is now under dis
cussion: IL Is rapidly growing worse.

than ever. The census OF 1920 put
the whole value of Maryland fisheries
