by the Division of Zoology of the
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-

aged and destroyed by rabbits prey
ing upon the bark. One grower in
Westmoreland county, wrote to State
Zoologist II. A. Surface, stating that
of 1,2O0 trees, planted one, two and
three years ago, and which made a
nice growth, quite q number have
had their bark peeled of by rabbits.
He asked for some simple remedy to
prevent this destruction, and made
