FISH SEASON SLOW
IN NORTHERN NECK
Losses Threatened Despite Good
Prices as Season Draws
Nearer to Close.
Gpeeial Dispatch to The 8t»r.
HEATHSVILLE. Va.. April 20 —Re
ports from all sections of the North
ern Neck, along the Potomac and
Chesapeake Bay. are to the effect
that there is little improvement in
the catch of shad and herring. The
fishermen have not sold enough to
pay crews’ wages. The season is
rapidly nearing its end. Many of
the fishermen, however, still think
the run of fish will come, but too
late to save them from terrific losses.
The cream of the season usually
comes before Easter, when prices
drop. Prices are good now. owing
to scarcity of fish, but if the fish
come—and in a glut—prices are due
to tumble. The packers are as blue
as the fishermen, with large supplies
of salt, cans, barrels, etc., on hand
and no fish to pack.
