To Start Huge Crab Farm.

Norfolk, Va.—E. B. Elliott of Hampton, the largest crab dealer in the world, will have a crab farm in a basin that cost the government $500,000. It iB located at the Jamestown exposition grounds. It is Elliott’s intention to stock the farm with ci'abs during the summer so that there will always be a supply for the country during the winter. To prevent a “feast of the families” he proposes to cut off the claws of all crabs he puts into the basin. The government has not yet given its consent to Elliot’s plan, but probably will as the basin is perfectly useless at present.
