MONEY IN RABBITS
EXPORTATION TO CANADA
DUNEDIN, May 4
However much rabbits may be icgardfed' as ■ a needless importation into this country, and as one of the most destructive pests with which the farmer lias to contend, there is no doubt that they are now attaining a definite comnm.-cial value. The opinion that their export might develop into a fleurishing industry is expressed by Mr R. S. Brown, who rocntly opened a factory tor the freezing of rabbits at Alexandra.--.il/-
Uncler then terms of the new reciprocal trade treaty between New Zealand and Canada, rabbits, which were formerly subject to a duty of four c nts y pound on entering the latter country, are now admitted duty free, and aA a result of this action it is possible that the Canadian market may absorb a. considerable quantity of rabbits frnn this Dominion.
Mr Black considers that the removal of the duty "'ill have a- direct effect in stimulating the industry in Centra! Otago, as it will enable producers to be quoted a. much better price tor the rabbity, which are particularly well developed this season.
