HaWiitH, wliirli lift vu in a-iil a valuable source .' ftiod in Kit rope (liirinjr the pres ent war, may well he raised more ex tensively America by way of re (lueinjr the drain on the ordinary meat supply, ctordinf to biologists of tiu; Tailed States department of arienltiire. Tlte business of prow injr rabbits, the sjMM-ialists point out, en a he earned on by youths and adults not enaijed in military or other national service, or in regular industrial employment. The animals mav be raised in back yards of cities and towns as well as on farms, licit i:i 11 Hare Favored. . The liel'ian hare, says a state ment by the United States department of arieultiire, breeds rapidly, ma tures quickly, and produces u -"la-table and highly nutritions meat. The eot of production is less than tli.it of any other meat, not excepting poul try. The supply can be greatly in re.Tsed within a few months, without requiring space that, may be needed for the production of crops. J'racti eal experience has demonstrated that rabbit meat can be produced in un limited (piiiiilities at a cost of about six cents a pound; ami by ittilizim; lawn cuttings ami other vegetation that would otherwise be wasted, the cost can be auulo even lower. The Hcl.u'iaii and Flemish iant rabbits are recommended for meat production, as the ordinary tame rab bit is smaller and develops more slow ly. Stock of Belgian hares may be bought from breeders in nearly all the states at 1 to $.1 each. They may occasionally be had from pet stock dealers. Knncy pedigreed stock is not required for meat production, Aro Kasily Kept. Rabbits are easily kept. They eat hn.V. jfrass, lawn cnttinijs, and rcen vegetation of many kinds. Females should be nllowed to breed when 8 or .10 months old, and during the year should raise four litters of about six yoiinjy each. Well fed, the younjr reaeh marketable size when .1 to 4 months old and average from 5 to 0 pounds live weight. The department of agriculture has published a bulletin on raising rab bits which will be helpful to those who wish to cuirage in this pursuit. DESIRES TO HAVE THE AIMS OF WAR STATED SEASON 10 OPEN AT CRATER LAKE ', JULY 15 The Crater Lake seascn will ior inally oM'ii on July II, lu st Sunday, when the daily auto staj;e service will he started. This announcement wits made last niht hy Alfred L. J'nrk hurst, president and general inan.iL'er of the Crater Lake company. "W'iiile there is considerable snow yet in places, some drifts ten feet deep, wo will have the snow all .uiov eled out of the way hv the fifteenth and the roads will be in fairly jwni condition, tho wet in places,' .mid Mr. 1'arkliurst last niht on his ar rival from tlte park in the city Kor the first time two new national park sifiht seeini; auto stages will be used on the Crater lake route. One of these seats 21 passengers and the other 12. Mr. I'arkhurst will call upon Coun ty JiuIkc TouVelle in the next few days to endeavor to enlist the court's support in bettering; the road to the lake and in keeping it in picxl on dition. Mr. 1'arkliurst says that this is a matter of preiit importance to the business interests of Medford, for if the roads are not kept in good re pair the inevitable result will be the loss of Crater lake tourist business thru the Medford gateway. "Something should be dono soon with the section of the road which was cut thru the pumice hill be yond Trail near the Mansfield ranch,' says MY. I'arkhurst. "This section is even now in very bad shape, and if the weather continues dry and hot with the heavy tourist travel it will soon he cut to pieces. Then the disgusted tourists will pass the word around the country about the bad road in to Crater lake from this side." "A little inexKnsive work done now will save this situation. If the road is scraped and then kept sprink led frequently it will remain in con dition all summer and fall. "This is a matter of dollars and cents to Modl'ord's business com munity and I am not speaking from u selfish point of view, because any one can see that for every dollar spent by a tourist up at Crater Lake, a dozen or more are spent in Med ford and the valley."
