RARRIT RIV
I NSl VKSSt I I,
A fair sized crowd attended the
rabbll drive Sunday, but their
"slaughter of the innocents" was
light, and for some odd reason, so
we hear, one cannot drive rabbits
down hill. Now, did you ever know
that before?
If that be true, we suggest thai
Ion ; Her the rabbits be driven up
hill instead of down, because they
are becoming SO numerous that the
new seeding is devoured as soon as
it appears above ground
Many of the farmers are not In a
position lo fence their places with
rabbll wire at Ihe present lime, so
It seems that the only way they can
raise anything is by constantly fight
Ing the rabbits with drives and
poison
Some of the farmers have been
trying poison, but it has not been
rerj satisfactory as there is such an
abundance of food now, so whenever
a rabbit drive Is called let everyone
get in and help.
