Those Pesky Rabbits!
E do not hear much about the rabbit nowadays but nevertheless it is still a very serious pest. To say that 13,000,000 rabbit skins were sold in Dunedin alone last year makes it obvious that the presence of the rabbit even to-day is having a serious effect on our carrying capacity. For some people rabbit farming is more profitable than sheep farming. What we need is the killing of rabbits all the year round: not only when skins bring a high price and the suggestion at the recent high country conference at Tekapo to stabilise the price for skins throughout the year would appear to’ be a very sensible one--(" Using and Abusing Vegetation," 3Y 4A, June 5.) * * *
