Harrison narrison.J3nsine8S Maaagee Violet AFTER MR. JACK RABBIT important feature of the New Mexican's daily menu is now apt to be rabbit in one of its many appetizing forms. The reason for this particular diet is that extensive drives are being conducted throughout the Southwest, but particularly in New Mexico, to rid the ranches and plaine of jack rabbits. Fifty thousand of them have been killed by farmers and ranchers of New Mexico in the last few months, and the slaughter is ' to continue. It i. conservatively estimated that drives against the long eared denizenB of the plains have already saved enough grass and hay for almost six hundred cattle or for 17,000 sheep. The calculations are contention that based upon the eat as much as rabbits of the eight oue cow and three times as much one sheep. At a recent convention of thf New Mexico Cattle .and .Hone Growers' association it was stated that the millions of jack rabbits in the state present a greater ion .Me to live stock than do coyotes, and they are a source of greater damage to the range than any other agency. In view of these alarming facts, the United States Biological ;Survey was asked to cooperate in ihe extermination of the animal. So keen is the interest to this project that in many communities ,mG "chants send their ole.ks to aid ithe farmer in their work, since ;they expect to benefit from the agriculturists' increased prosperity, if the number of jack rabbits be rethe hunts take duced.

The carrying capacity has been doubled under such treatment. Previously cattle or sheep grazing on such land had been troubled with rickets resulting in heavy losses from cripples and paralysis. In one such instance reported from England, lime and superphosphate were applied. Samples of the grasses from treated and untreated areas were analyzed showing that the percentage of phosphorus, potash and lime had been more than doubled through the treatment The Increases were as follows: Phosphorus 136 per cent, potasli 102 per cent lime 152 per cent.
