MAY SEED CARLOAD OF
JAckRABBITS TO BELGlANS

Madison. S. D., Dec. 19.-The unusual
abundance of jackrabbjts this winter
has made them a drug on the market
and a scheme is on foot to collect a
carload to send to the starving Bel
gians. There will be no difficulty about
getting that amount of rabbit meat to-
gether as a few organized hunts would
produce the desired result at the same
time affording fine sport for the hunt
ers. The only difficulty is in getting a
ship to a fresh meat. II, this can be
overcome. South Dakota can furnish
every man, woman and child in Bel
GUM with a pair of jackrabbits.
Someone has suggested that sending
jackrabbits to the native land of the
Belgian hare will be like carrying Goals
to Newcastle. but it is asserted that
every hare in Belgium has been scared
to death long ere this and it may be
necessary after the war to appeal to
South Dakota for new stock.
