TrapPers Make Bat Little Money
The muskrat trapping season in
lower Delaware will come to close
this week and according to those
engaged IN the business the season
has been one OF the poorest. for
many years. The catch this winter
is said 70 be only about three-fourths
Or the usual season and very little
money was made from the industry.
Il has only been within the past
week o. two that the trappers have
been able to work their lines be-
cause Of the frozen condition Of the
marshes. The marshes at BroadkiIn
Prime Hook, Slaughter and Fowler
Beaches and along the Broadkiln
and Indian Rivers as well as RehO-
both Bay were frozen during January
and February and covered with ice,
thus preventing the working OF the /
trap lines. Unable to get to their /
feeding grounds, many Of the musk I
rats died OF starvation. Trappers
are in most instances going to be |
lucky It is said, if they break even /
during the season. Trapping not 4
only requires time but money In /
many former seasons, which we're I
more open than this year, thousands
Of dollars have resulted from the
pelts obtained as well as the meat.
Many fishermen along the bay
shores, who in most cases are en-
gagged in trapping, will have to de-
pend on heavy run Of fish this
spring to make up for their losses.
