OUR RABBITS
MAY PROVE OF
REAL VALUE
MELBOURNE, Australia, June 2.—
Rabbit trapping and exportation of
refrigerated rabbits has experienced a
boom as a result of the war. Hereto
fore the rabbits were a curse to Aus
tralia and millions of pounds sterling
have been expended in an effort to
eradicate them.
Lately, however, the commonwealth
authorities have been taking an active
interest in rabbits for consumption
both in Australia and abroad. The
view that the rabbit is a pest which
should be extirpated is not being en
couraged. Steps have been taken by
the government to have the poisoning
of the animals suspended, and trap
pers are being urged to maintain the
output for consumption.
Undoubtedly this policy is a result
of the war strain upon food supplies
in Great Britain and among the other
entente allies. A month or two ago
the British government notified the
commonwealth government that it hail
decided to buy the whole surplus
of Australian refrigerated rabbits for
the season of 1917. The transaction i
will involve about $2,500,000. Last1
season Australia exported 10.296,000
pairs of rabbits, showing the extent
of the supply which Great Britain
has contracted to take.
