Subscriptions to Government
Loans represent rent charged

Turn Rahhlt Pests IntO PrOfIts

, Fully 2OO,OO0,OOO wild rabbits are
killed in the United States every
year according to estimates made by
the biological survey Of the United
States department Of agriculture.
Many of them are jack rabbits, the
majority of which have not been
utilized in the past. II all the rab-
bits killed were consumed, they
would represent between 100000 and
100000 tons Of valuable food, and IT
proper methods were taken to in
sure the collection of skins, these
alone would have value Of $780,
100000. The biological survey has
frequently been called upon TO help
the western farmers in coping with
the rabbit pest. In view Of the prob
able economic value Of rabbit meat
and fur in the coming few years,
the energies of the farmers and
ranchmen will he directed to the
conservation Of this important re-
source. Already number OF es-
Establishments for collecting, dress
ing, canning, and shipping rabbit
meat are in operation in western
centers. As in Australia the tran

country from its status as pest to

We believe that the farmers aud

way. The chief objection to this
plan is the farmers difficulty in Sec
uring efficient labor TO carry on this
form Of intensified farming.
A third plan, sort of combina-
ton of the above two plans, has also
been suggested. According to this,
the government would rent the land
and equipment, hire the owner to
run his own pumping, plant and
work the land with prisoners or with
army labor.
We would like to have many OF
our farmers consider the feasibility OF
these plans and give their opinion ia

Can Luna County Grow Garden
Truck for Camp COdy1

Captain Eisman, who has charge
Of the Conservation Reclamation
branch Of the service at Camp Cody
is now considering the growing Of
or having grown sufficient vege-
tables to supply the camp next year
He and the county agent have been
making Investigations and discussing
plans for this project and it is hoped
that some feasible plan may be work
ed out.
The army here has had practically
no green vegetables at all during the
past year, the captain maintains,
and as he is very DESTROYS that this
shall not occur again next year he
wishes to work ont plans now for
the coming years needs.
At the eastern environments, Cap
tain Eisman says, the government
is growing great quantities of vege-
tables for the army with the Ger
man prisoners and it occurred to
him that the government might buy
efficient land around Deming, EN-
ploy efficient men or operators, and
use German prisoners together with
those men in the army who are ply
sieally unfit for foreign service for
laborers.
The county agent can see many
objections to this plan, chief Of
which would be a large expenditure
Of government money four money!
10 buy and develop this land for
truck purposes. Another serious
objection is that InIess the captain
could employ men who are acquaint-
"a with the southwestern conditions
Of farming and men who have a
high regard for economic efficiency
in production the vegetables would
cost the camp several times more
than they should.
In place Of the above plan the
county agent has suggested the fol-
loving. that the officers of the camp
determine approximately the guam
tity of the various kinds of vege-
tables required for the army's use
Then the county farm bureau could
estimate approximately the number
Of acres required for the growing Of
each kind Of vegetable. Then rep.
resentative price-fixing committee
consisting Of one member Of the fOot
administration, one from the exten'
sion service, one from the army, th'
county agent and several exper'
fenced local truck growers could b
chosen that would fix a price OF
these commodities that would b.
fair 10 the grower and economical Il
the army. Then arrangements coul'
be made through the county farn
hureau whereby the army could con
tract with the individual farmer 4
grow a certain number Of acres o
one or several varieties Of vegetable
and deliver these products at tn
camp as specified and at the speci
fled price. The army would agre
