Show w PLAN TO SHIP FROZEN RABBITS TO MEN ABROAD Waco, Tex. E. W. Cole, director of markets of the state department of agriculture, says plans are being made for a large rabbit meat packing pack-ing plant. The Idea is to slaughter rabbits in enormous quantities and put them through the freezing process pro-cess for export to the ally countries abroad. Commercializing of rabbit meat has been practiced in Australia for many years, and the system there will be adopted here. Mr. Cole says the annual export of rabbits from Australia amounts to about 36,000,-000 36,000,-000 head, practically all going to England. It is stated that, with the killing of the wolves and coyotes in west Texas, rabbits have so increased as to become a serious pest, as they were in Australia. a |
