SEEK TO INCREASE
CHESAPEAKE'S CRABS
Backed By Rotary Club Of
Crisfield Attempt Will Be
Made To Check Losses

The work of transferring female
crabs from other waters to those of
the Annamessex river and Tangier
Sound has begun and one night the
last week so barrels were brought
from Sinnepuxent Bay, on the ocean
side, and placed in the water at Girls
field.
The proposition is an attempt to
make up this season for the crabbers
what they would otherwise lack in the
catch owing to the destruction of
the female crabs during the winter a.
bout the Capes.
1t is Maryland project. The crabs
are being obtained in Maryland waters
and the cost is met by Maryland
money. State Conservation Commits
sioner Earle has contribute toward the
scheme, as have crab packers of Girls
field.
To each crab there is attached an
egg, containing between 1,75O,O00 and
100000 embryo. The season for
spawning is now on, and the hundred
or so barrels to be taken from the At
lantic Ocean and deposited in the
Chesapeake Bay will not be missed,
but it will mean possibility of 10000
to 100000 barrels of marketable
crabs in Crisfeld during the last half
of the season..
1t is an experiment the outcome of
which no one in Crisfield will guess.
Every precaution is taken to make the
transfer as comfortable as possible
for the prospective crab mothers, and
they are out Of the water but a few
hours.
The movement is made at night in
trucks an quantity of the crabs will
be deposited in an area with silk fenc-
ing so that information might be OBJ
tanned as to the results.
The movement is backed by the Ro-
tary Club of Crisfeld and was sug-
gested by Leroy Carson, one of the
lR1 SCOC Pc1ChCIS VI IhQ1 IdIlO VII
If the project proves successful,
Somerset crab catchers an packers will
ask the federal and state governments
tc join in locating a Crab Hatchery
at Crisfeld, similar in many respects
to the fish hatcheries conducted in
various parts of the country. There
seems every reason to believe that if
spawning crabs taken in Virginia
waters, will mature their spawn when
transplanted to the waters Of this
State, that hatchery could be sue
cessfully conducted, at Crisfeld for
the maturing of crab spawn after the
breeding season had been passed. If
this plan proves feasible, it will no
doubt be undertaken on a large scale,
but meanwhile Maryland grabbing in
terests will continue the fight for Fed
eral control of the crab industry, in
an effort to compel Virginia to stop
the destruction of the mother crab.

1--WE felt before we went into
the challenge round that we had
only Slight chance, Max Decugis,
captain of the French team, said.
But we are looking more to the
future and we knew we could learn
something.
Everyone else thought the Young

chance to take the cup back to
breaks. more than any other fac
tor. caused them to make little out
of their chance, however.
Jean Borotra, some believe, would
have beaten Tildcn in the opening

reduced to the state of collapse by
the intense heat. 1t was hot for
Tildcn. too. of course, but Amcri-
