State Game Warden LeCOmpte Is OF
the Opinion that the Scarcity of
Rabbits Is Due to Ravages of Foxes
or Other Nermin.
To the Editor of The Republican.
For the past few days I have no.
ticed articles in the letter columns of
the press of this State relative to the
scarcity of rabbits. l have been re-
quested on numerous occasions to ex-
plain this condition.
During a conversation with Dr. Al
evander Wetmore, Investigator of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, Washington, D. c., on November
18th, | requested to know to what he
ascribed the scarcity of rabbits in this
State. His reply was to the effect
that practically every state in the
Union every six or eight years have
the same trouble we are experiencing
at this time, due to disease which
spreads among the rabbits during the
early fall.
The Acs of 1929, Chapter 3O1, pro
vides that persons may train or hunt
their dogs without gun between Sep
TENDER 10 and November 9. During
the month of September we received
reports from practically every county
in the State advising us that rabbits
were very plentiful. However, when
the hunting season opened this species
of game became very scarce. Person
ally, ascribe this scarcity to several
causes:
l. Long drought since September
18th, which necessitated rabbits seek
ing water courses; 2. Possibly a dis
ease; and g. Great increase in the fox
family and other vermine.
There are large number of per-
sons in this State who enjoy fox hunt
ing, and it is almost impossible to
secure legislation to rid the State of
the fox, which every sportsman knows
is very detrimental to our game sup.
ply. During the spring of 1922 a
friend told me he dug out one fox den
and found five young rabbits, and in
another den he found seven mallard
ducks, which goes to show the fox
does not confne his activities to the
fur family alone.
Opening the squirrel season Sep
TENDER LIST gives certain persons a
good chance to kill rabbits during the
hunt for squirrels. OF course, | am
aware there are a great many per-

sons who hunt squirrels but do not
kill other game on which there is a
closed season. However, there are a
great number of persons who use the
open season on squirrels to hunt other
game, including rabbits.
Several days ago a letter appeared
in one Of the Baltimore papers under
date Of November 22nd, signed &C. J.
N" Hamilton, advising the purchase
Of rabbits for restocking. For the in
formation of the public, especially
the sportsmen, l wish to state that
we have contracts placed for delivery
of 5000 cotton-tail rabbits during the
spring Of 1928, therefore, each county
in this State will receive an allot-
ment. During the season Of 1922 we
had contracts placed for cotton-tail
rabbits. However, due to the heavy
rate OF mortality in shipping, the
broker refused to fill our order.
During an inspection trip through
the counties of Allegany and Gar
rett, which counties were stocked last
year with the Maine Snowshoe hares,
during the season of 1922, l was una
bic to find a single person who had
seen or killed a single Sncwshoe hare
during the open season, therefore l
have come to the conclusion this spe-
cies Of game is not suitable for the
covers of this State. l also learned
the sportsmen of these two counties
realize opening the squirrel season on
September LIST is detrimental instead
Of being beneficial to our game sup
ply.
l certainly will appreciate the favor
very much if you will publish all or
at least the most important points
of this letter for the benefit of your
many readers, for which please accept
my thanks in advance.

Synthetic Sinkers.

While the world is still disturbed
with the many grave problems Of re-
adjustment, IL is pleasing to note that
science is making skillful progress and
is constantly marching onward toward
a brighter and better day. In this con-
nection II is noted that among the
newest of scientific triumphs is the
synthetic doughnut.
This victory of mind over matter is
said to incorporate all the elements OF
the plebeian or lunchrOOm species Of
sinker. There is the synthetic armOr-
plate or covering with which the little
doughnut protects itself from attack
by its arch-enemy, man. There is like,
wise the synthetic interior composed of
the usual adamantine substances; also
the synthetic hole, which is perhaps
the best part of any dOughnut. and
last but not least, the synthetic in
digestion.
Let US hope that science will not
rest on her laurels but will press ever
forward until the synthetic ham and
eggs, synthetic buckwheat and sausage
and synthetic pork and beans have
been rescued from the limbo Of dreamy
possibilities.-Thrift Magazine.
