The Rabbit Pest in Crook County
Organized Action to Kill the Pests Suggested
IJy County Agriculturist A. 13. Ixivctt
Mlj HIV
Tho Jack rabbits hnvo destroyed
many hundred acres of crops for far
mers In Crook county during the past
season. Farmers In sonio localities
havo lost crops prior to tho season of
191G, but tho post has nnnonrcd In
lareo numbers In practically every
section oi ina county tins year. Tho
seriousness of the rabbit question Is
this year appreciated by practically
every farmer and resident of tho
county. I have received letters from
a largo number of farmers asking
concerning mo eradication of this
pest. I should llko to reach every
farmer In tho county nnd get his
opinion of the suggestions which I
shall inako hero regarding a method
for tholr eradication.
Many havo suggested that a bounty
be placed on tho rabbit. I should not
opposo tho placing of a bounty on
this pest If the peoplo and the coun
ty court should decide that this worn
-tho hotter method. It scorns to mo,
however, that a bounty of less than
flvo contB por head would not provo
attractive nor obtain results dcslrod,
and a bounty this largo would nccos
sltato tho expondituro of not less than
150,000.00 by tho county.
Tho destruction of theso rabbits Is
like any othor proposition which af
fects tho peoplo Individually as woll
as collectively; any action taken be
fore tho peoplo are Interested onoagh
to Initiate a movomont for Us ac
complishment, Is usually doomed to
failure from tho start. If tho people
wish n bounty placed upon thlo pest,
nnd will got together nnd so express
themselves, Micro Is no doubt but
that tho coujpty court will mako tho
appropriation. If anything planned
Is to bo carried out successfully, tho
samo action must bo tnken. Every
IntorcBtod person must work with his
neighbor nnd seek to obtain greatest
results possible.
I would seriously suggest tho fol-
I lowing plnn for offectlvo work during
I tho coming winter: Lot ovory com
munity of fnrmers, stockmen and
j mprchants orgnnlzo a locnl commun
ity crganlzntlon whoso solo purnoso
shnll bo to tnko active part In any
mnthod for tho oradlcatlon of rabbits
which shall ho decided as most offec
tlvo by tho majority. Lot certnln
dates bp sot nsldo by tho organiza
tions In ovory part of tho county for
t ovory mombor of such organization to
fight tho rabbits. Tho sotting nsldo
to another and not destroyed. I)y a
necessary In ordor that tho rabbits
may not bo driven from ono section
ot another and not destroyed. By a
thoroughly organized, nctlvo cam
paign against tho rabbits In this sec
tion, they can be very materially les
soned In number and practically
eradicated. In mo other way can this
end ho obtained.
Just n fow suggestions as to meth
ods to bo used. Under a law passed
by tho last legislature, the sum of
$260 may bo obtained from tho state
by any county duplicating that
amount and paying It into tho State
Treasury for tho purpose of experi
menting and, eradicating Jack rab
bnts In eastern Oregon. This monoy,
according to tho aforesaid law, must
bo spent under tho supervision of tho
Oregon Agricultural College, and
must bo usod beforo Janunry 1, 191C.
Tho uso of poisoned grain and salt,
using Btrychnlno mixtures, hnvo prov
ed very cToctlvo In many cases In tho
county during tho past senson. Tho
valuo of either or both Is unquestion
ed. Tho salt mlxturo includes u large
amount of sugnr and seems to bo at
tractive not only to tho Jack rnbblts
but also tho sago rats. Whether any
arrangemont could bo made whoroby
theso poisoned mixtures could bo
placed on tho wnsto lands nnd on tho
opon ranges Is n sorlous question, ns
tho poisons Indicated nro dangorous
for livestock as woll as rabbits. A
co-operation of tho stockmen for ob
taining universal organized work
within the county would assist great
ly In solving this problem. If tho
fanners, stockmoil and others In
Crook county wish to undortnko an
organized movement toward tho erad
ication ot the Jack rabbit as n pest,
I shall bo glad to undertake tho man
agement of a comploto organization.
If tho peoplo so deslro, or shnll ho
glad under any otfior mnnngoment
In organlzod work toward this end. to
assist In ovcry way posslblo with full
time and nil tho forces at my com
mand. If ovory community could or
ganize at onca nnd sond ono or moro
representatives to n county meeting
at Prlnovlllo, or any othor central
point In tho county, for. tho purpose
of studying nnd making plans for a
country-wide fight on tho Jnck rab
bit, a great doal might bo accomplish
ed oven beforo tho 1st of Jnnunry.
