M. for the purpose of prepar ing bait to poison jack-rabbits. A meeting similar to this one had been arranged for a few days ago but due to a heavy snow fall It was not thought advisable to mix and dis tribute the poison. It was formerly thought by pro ject farmers that the jack-rabbits would not be thick this winter. How ever, more recent reports coming from farmers in certain sections in dlcate that the. rabbits are coming in from the outlying districts and in festtng local areas on the project In great numbers. Last year many thousand rabbits were poisoned as a result of campaigns carried on by local farmers in the. districts. While rabbits are not as numerous as last year it would be advisable to dis tribute poison where there are many rabbit runways In the snow. Reoent quotations from firms who buy rab bit pelts show that one could make good wages by skinning the rabbits and marketing the pelts.
