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."
