RABBITS RAIDING GARDENS.
Reported to Be Overrunning the
Southeastern Suburbs.

Rabbits are infesting the southeastern
suburbs of the District, and owners of
gardens in that section find themselves
confronted on one side by the devastation
of their plants and on the other side
by the prohibition of the police regula-
tons against shooting the pests.
Although November / is supposed to
usher in the open season for shooting
rabbits in the National Capital the po-
lice regulations prohibit ale shooting OF
any gun in any section within 800 yards
of public road. school. church or resi-
dence There are few areas in the suburbs
where shooting can be done; and the rab-
bits are reported as freQuenting the more
populated districts where there are cab
bage heads and other garden plants.
Ii has been suggested that the pests
can be driven out by the use of dogs and
traps. and DR.. William Tindall, secretary
10 the Commissioners. urges that the
Australian method be used. In that ter
ritory the farmers club together and,
with dogs, chase the rabbits to one point
and there have a wholesale killing.
