BELGIAN HARE INDUSTRY.
Mirnesotn Farmers Fear That the
Aufmala Will BecSm n Menace
be cqualized

Minnesota Fsrmera Fear That the
= Anirsslc Will Beceme Menace:
The Belgium hare craze. which'seems
to have taken so firm hold around
Minneapolis, promises to result in
row that will involve the whole north
west, says the Chicago Mter Ocean. In
fact, the status of the hare is likely to
become a matter of congressional de-
liberation. for the farmers are organic
ing and sending petitions TO the con-
gressmen representing Iowa and Min
nesota. The petitions cite that Belgian
hares are reall, rabbits. and aside
from their qualities of superior breed
ing they are identical in habits and fe-
cundlty, of doubtful value as food
product and an undoubted menace to
the agriculture. interests of any coun-
try in which they are introduced.
During the last few months hundreds
of these hares have been imported into
Minnesota from the Pacific coast, and
several Belgian hare farms have been
established. The proprietors of these
farms assert that the hares are as legit-
innate an item Of industry as are sheep
or any other farm stock, and they are
organizing to fight the opponents Of the
hare. They point out that there are
hundreds of thousands of these hares
in California. but that no reports of
damage to crops are ever received
from that state. The hare industry is
on the increase in Minnesota. and the
apprehensiyeness of the agricultural
population increases correspondingly.
