OUR RABBITS MAY PROVE OF
 REAL VALUE

MELBOURNE, Australia, June D. Rabbit trapping and exportation of refrigerated rabbits has experienced a boom as a result of the war. Hereto fore the rabbits were a curse to Aus tralia and millions of pounds sterling have been expended in an effort to eradicate them.
 Lately, however, the commonwealth authorities have been taking an active interest in rabbits for consumption both in Australia and abroad The view that the rabbit is a pest which should be extirpated is not being en- couraged. Steps have been taken by the government to have the poisoning of the animals suspended, and trap pers are being urged to maintain the output for consumption.
 Undoubtedly this policy is a result of the war strain upon food supplies in Great Britain and among the other entente allies. A month or two ago the British government notified the commonwealth government that it had decided to buy the whole surplus of Australian refrigerated rabbits for the season of 1917. The transaction will involve about S2,5OO,OOO. Last season Australia exported 1O.296,OOO pairs of rabbits, showing the extent of the supply which Great Britain has contracted to take.
