! Raibits Has Enemies Of Agricult^


impression, based on casual but frequq: in the countryside, thatjrabb.ts are ;han;was the case two or I three years several friends who move! about in


It seem^ certain that the


farmers’ jeampaign against these undoubted enemies of agriculture is! now waged aiuch less strenuously than during the war years.


Almost everywhere I go in


the countrysidfe, rabbits now appear to be common, whereas they were prely seen even on a long ramble towards' the end of the war. Of course, there were! always a few places where rabbits could be found, even when, ’twas said, every man’s hand and gun was raised against them.


The casual /visitor to the


fields and woodsides saw few if any, but the local experts who supplemented their earnings by; selling rabbits for the pot, always knew where .to find a few or many, las the market or the mood dictated.


Nevertheless,; terrific In­


roads were made on the num­ bers of rabbits if ceding on the farmers’ fields and there were wide ar’eas in which this formerly too-epmmon animal became scarce.!'


A N impressiian may been Qven tHof cr» oovArolv hat so severely


had the humber of rabbits been curtailed/that there was no longer any!need to main­ tain the attack. One can


scarcely believe countrymen thinking so, since every one of them knjiws ; how quickly


rabbits can multiply. 1


We need not suggest that 1 j


every doe (ioes ;so, but a rabbit may and somei do have from four to eight litters in a year.


There are three to eight


young ones In a litter and the young rabbits! are ready to breed certainly at six (and; so^e claim at/three) months old; Be [sure the rabbits’ infantile mortality is fairly high, but |thlsi great fertility means rapid increase in he; population if rabbits are left unchecked,


i Almost every predatory


creature preys! on the rabbit, of course, but man wages war on the predators. Unless man also takes /toll; of the rabbits almost certainly rabbits will reach! numbers which cause/ considerable damage.


Enough evidence was pro­


duced” by farm/ers in wartime to convince everyone that the rabbit is a menace to agricul­ ture, to forestry and also to the game preserves.


gOME who say that


hai/e watched often the first rabbit to


into the open. ; On the other hand, competent


observers of wide experience of rabbits and their ways say it is always an oil doe that leads the way along a runway or track


from burrows to! feeding grounds. I •


There are many of these tracks


leading in qvery direction, and the rabbits /keep to them, for rabbits are creatures of habit and never very adventurous. 'Within a short time of coming out to feed, they are spread over a wide area—diligently j feeding.


Outside the home burrow, a


few does remain among the youngsters not yet able to wander far.

The business was so import­

Describing how he lived bn


the-. Sierra Madre ifront in Mexico, the speaker said he was often awakene;i by an earthquake. The earph’s crust in that part of the world was so unstable thap it wris almost in a constant state of vibra­ tion. In Great Brlta n. It was more stable but ever so, geo­ logical changes did tike place and it was not so ^ery long ago that this island was con­ nected to the Contirent.


Geologists were ch efly con­

. Great Britain, continued Mr. Bell, was among the oioneers


: in the I search for oil lelds in Mexico.


THREE ZONES Mr, Bell said the world’s oil


preserves could be more or less confined to three distinct provinces. The flrkt was North I and South America which at one time used to be a great [inland sea, thb Middle East and Southernl, Russia, which [was the greatest oil province of all, and round Java, Sumatra and Borneo. At least 1
