SCARCITY OF RABBITS.
Letter From State Game Warden
Giving Causes.
November 20, 1922.

November ~, 1917.
Dear Editor:
For the past few days, have
noticed articles in the letter columns
of the press of this State, relative to
the scarcity of rabbits. have
been requested on numerous occa-
sions to explain this condition.
During conversation with DR..
Alexander Wetmore, Investigator of
the United States Department Of
Agriculture, Washington, d. c., on
November 18th, l requested to know
to what he alluded the scarcity of
rabbits in this State. His reply was
to the effect, that practically every
State in the Union every 6 or 8
years have the same trouble we are
experiencing at this time, due to a
disease which spreads among the
rabbits during early Fall.
The Acts of 1922, chap 301,
provides, that persons may train or
hunt their dogs without gun be-
tween September 10. and November
8. 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. Personally I allude
this scarcity to several causes:
l. /. Long drought since Septem-
Der 18th, which necessitated rabbits
seeking water courses.
2. Possibly a disease.
8. Great increase in the fox
family and other .vermin. .
There are large number of per-
sons in this State who enjoy fox
hunting, 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 supply.
Opening the squirrel season Sept.
LIST gives certain persons a good
chance to kill rabbits during their
hunt for squirrels. There are a
great number of persons who use
the open season on squirrels to hunt
other game including rabbits.
For the information. of the pub
lie, especially the sportsmen, wish
70 state that we have contracts
placed for the delivery of 5000 cot
ton tail rabbits during the Spring OF
1928, therefore, each County in this
State will receive an allotment.
During the season of 1922, we had
! contracts placed for cotton tail raD
bits, 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 AIlegany and Gar
ret, which Counties were stocked
last year with the Maine Snowshoe
Hares, during the season of 1922.
was unable to find a single person
who had seen or killed single
Snowshoe hare during the open sea-
son, therefore, have come to the
conclusion this species of game is
not suitable for the covers of this
State. also learned the sports
men of these two Counties realize
opening the squirrel season Septem-
Der LIST is detrimental instead of be-
ing beneficial to our game supply.
Yours very truly,
e. LEE LeCOMPTE,
State Game Warden.

THE OLD AND THE NEW.
Especial Correspondence. j


Washington, D. c., Dec. 4.-Con-
gress put "off the old and on the
new" today, with the ending of the
special session which had been call
ed primarily to consider the ship
ping bill and the converting of the
regular statutory December session.
The change in Congressional fash
ions was made within 10 minutes,
the extra session, begun two weeks
ago, adjourning at 1850 o'clock
and the new being called to order at
high noon.
Formal surrender of the Senate
Republicans to the Democratic fill
buster against the Dyer anti-lynch-
ing bill ended the tie-up and allow
ed confirmation Of about 100 de-
Tlayed nominations before the final
gavel Of the special session.
Receipt of the annual budget was
the principal business of the session.
The usual committees called on
President Harding and notified him
of the assembling of the new ses-
sion, but were not advised definitely
when the President would present
his opening message.
It was believed the President
would address Congress in joint SEES
sion Wednesday, with a message
stressing the Administration desire
| for enactment of the shipping bill,
farm credits legislation and the an
nual supply bills, in the hope of
cleaning up all business by March 3
and avoiding an extra session of the
new Congress next spring.
The shipping bill, passed last
week by the House, is scheduled to
be brought before the Senate late
\ this week. 1t will be taken up
Wednesday by the Commerce Com
mittee, with view to a prompt re-
ply to the Senate. There are indi-
| cations, however, of some delay in
this program. The fate of the bill
| Is said to be still in doubt, with the
Senate alignment extremely close
land a threat of obstructive tactics
still hanging over it.
President Harding, transmitting
| The annual Federal budget for the
next fiscal year, frankly told Con-
gross that whether there was to be
any material reduction in Govern
ment expenditures and in taxes in
| future years would depend largely
I on whether there was to be cur.
.ailment or expansion of Federal aid
in lines of research, improvement
and development.
Placing the estimated Govern,
| ment outlay in 1924 at $3,180,843.-
234, a decrease of about $780,
| 900, 900 as compared with estimates
for this fiscal year. President Hard
ing called attention. that two-thirds
Of this total was on account OF
practically fixed charges, such as
the public debt, national defense
pensions. world war allowances and
Federal aid. There was left, he
| said, only about $1,000, 900, 900 in
charges subject to administrative
control and against which, he add
I'd, the retrenchment policy of the
Government had been directed.
While expressing the opinion that
some further reduction undoubtedly
would result from reorganization
Of Government establishments on a
more scientific basis, the President
said this alone would not affect
such a material cut in operating
costs as would justify the expression
Of hope for a considerable lessening
of expenditures in the years to come.
