Wheat Hurt Most. . The most noticeable damage by jack rabbits fs that done to wheat, since the rabbits often graze' the winter wheat down to the roots, even pawing the earth away and bitinsr at the crowns of the plants, as well as cutting the stalks after stem formation begins. They are also constant feeders on growing alfalfa, although their grazing is seldom localized enough to be apparent. Such special crops as sugar beets, soy beans, melon patches, and others are also attacked and the losses are easily seen. Five to eight jack rabbits are said to eat as much as one sheep, or an equivalent in the cattle and horses that might have been supported by the forage destroyed. Regarded as Game Animal. Since the jack rabbit is regarded as a game animal, it is not desirable to exterminate It completely, as is the case of the prairie dog, but adequate control is Important.

A grain mix- ture of 300 pounds of corn or barley. 300 pounds of bran, 200 pounds of linseed oil meal and loO pounds of cottonseed meal may be used during this period. If silage and legume hay are fed in addition to grain the winter grain mixture could be used. Cows should get enough feed in addition to pasture to keep them from getting thin and from falling off in milk flow.
