SPRINGFIELD. Mo, Dec Ia
More than three million rabbits are
shipped each year from Springfield,
which is the center Of the industry
in the Ozarks, TO all parts of the
United states. NJ. D. LighttOot stated.
The animal has been an important
product 81 many OF the produce
companies for several years and Is
dressed and shipped both In carload
lots and small quantities. The
market extends as far south es New
Orleans. as far west as Denver and
az far east az New York, which
gives wide territory for shipping.
Every fall after tho first heavy
frost farmers hunters and trap
pers begin bringing the cottontail
TO tho local market The supply
is heavy during the entire winter
but Is greater after deep snow,
when crowds of boys armed" with
clubs ana accompanied by dogs get
ouNand run the bunnies down. This
is easy to do because II ia praCti-
cally impossible for a rabbit to run
in a deep snow.
In killing rabbits hunters not
only supply the demand Of the looa
market but they also perform a
great service to the community IN
killing the animal, which Is a great
pest. Rabbits live on vegetation
and kill young trees and shrub
berry by EnawlnE the bark nuc
roots and exposing them to tho colo
weather,
Rabbits sell on the distant mar
ket at 80 or 40 cents and make two
pounds or more of meat.
