LOCUST BLOOMS & SOFT CRABS

LOCUST BLOOMS AND SOFT CRABS

Friday, May 25, 1934, Easton, Maryland, Star – Democrat reports that out on the country

roads the Locust trees are in full bloom.

When Locust trees are in full bloom soft crabs appear. This is an age old saying which

is apparently true fact. The past two weeks crabbers have been catching quite a few. They

are small but all the more flavored.

Prices have dropped from 50 cents a dozen to 35 cents a dozen. Right now there are

more soft crabs than there are buyers so the crabbers are taking catches to the city and

receiving a higher price.
