We publish this week a communi-
cation from an Ellsworth Falls man
who thinks that the trapping and
shipping of live rabbits is an in
dustry that should be encouraged
rather than stopped by law. He
argues that 50-cent dinners are too
valuable for foxes and bobcats, and
that the money received from the
sale of the rabbits out of the State
goes farther toward solving the high
cost of living than trying to educate
Maine people to eat them. A
Marlboro correspondent votes against
bunny because he samples garden
stuff occasionally. So far as known,
however, he hasn't yet tackled the
Marlboro clam crop. We welcome
these expressions of opinion. The
rabbit may yet become an issue in
the Maine legislature.

Shipment of Rabbits.

Ellsworth Falls, Jan. II, 1921.
To the Editor of The American:
There are few people who do not
understand about the rabbit bust
ness, who may want a law to stop
the shipping of live rabbits out of
the State.
The shipping of rabbits brings
thousands of dollars into the State.
The men and boys who trap them are
raid fifty cents each, and the aver
age rabbit weighs alive, three
rounds, or about one and one-fourth
pounds dressed to cook, and not
many in Maine will .eat them, so as
for the food value we are well paid.
Then, again, are we going to save
the rabbits for the foxes, owls and
bobcats so they can have fifty cent
dinners?
When rabbits get about so plenti-
full they die off by the thousands
The catching of them alive in box
traps seems to keep them about
plentiful enough so they do not die
by disease. In sections where rab
bits are being shipped alive not neal
as many are being shot and wasted
as the boys are finding out they have
a value, and do not shoot fifteen OF
twenty and bring them home to bt
thrown down in the corner of the
'voodshed to spoil, or else shoot then
and leave them in the woods.

More About Sugar Beet.

Boulder, Col, Jan. ~, 1921.
To the Editor of The Americana:
l see by The American that you
have taken up the sugar beet ques-
ton. That's step in the right di-
rection if you have the soil adapted
to that kind of crop. Here in
Colorado the sugar beet crop has
made many farmers wealthy. The
Great Western Sugar Beet Co. makes
trade with the farmers, furnishes
them seed and tells them when to
plant, when to irrigate, when to thin
out the beets, when to dig them.
saw in the paper that some farmers
got check in the fall for $4,000
for their seasons crop.
The labor Is done by Mexicans.
They work through the season and
go back to Mexico in the fall. saw,
when auto-riding, thousands of acres
of beets.
j. For information on the subject
wotfiS advise you to write to E. L.
Moore, Longmont. Col. He is the
son OF the late Augustus z. Moore Of
Ellsworth. Longmont and Greeley
are two cities tint are the center for
sugar beets. They are thrifty cities,
with many wealthy RESIDENTS and the
sugar beet has done It.
! There is one more crop that you
wousd boom IL 1t can be made to
grow in the East. and that is al
falfa. l spent three weeks last
September on a ranch in Idaho.
There were 200 acres in the ranch.
They were then cutting the third
crop of alfalfa. 1t was eighteen
inches high. They never use any
dressing of any kind on the land.
Large work horses work hard every
day and keep "hog-fat" on alfalfa,
without any grain. Cows do fine on
alfalfa.
1 don't claim to be citizen of
Ellsworth now, but would like to see
the old town get back where it
should be and out of debt.

The Maine legislature seeks to
anticipate a crime wave in this
State. Both branches have passed
an emergency measure making the
punishment more severe for the
crimes of robbery, assault with in
tent to commit felony, burglary,
larceny, etc The minimum i'm
prisonment in most cases has been
increased from one to five years.
We hope the crime wave will not
reach TO Maine, but it is just as well
to he prepared for it.
