will go even further in stating
that where the Pendelmar Rabbitry
} is making their profit is not from the
buying back of the rabbits from the
breeders and the sale of the meat
alone, but from the sale of the by
products. If you would go into this
matter and request information from
the Department of Agriculture at
Washington you will learn that but =
per cent of the rabbit pelts which
are commercially used i'm the manu-
/ facture of felt hats. fur coats. trim
ming, etc, arc raised i'm the United
States. the largest percentage COM
ing from South American countries.
/ The information from the Depart
ment of Agriculture will further
state that taking pound of rabbit
meat in comparison with chicken
meat. which has always been ac-
knowledged to contain more food
value per unit. that pound of rab-
bit meat contains 21s times more
nutritious value, as well as bulk
meat than chicken.
If this letter. which is certainly
sent to you in all good faith. has in
any way changed your attitude upon
this new American industry. we
would greatly appreciate it if you
would write subsequent article in
your paper i'm order that the large
rural population in Delaware to
whom your paper goes weekly may
not be prejudiced from the article
above referred TO-
AS representing the largest news

state that this letter is in no way
to be considered as criticism direct
ed against your paper, that | am
fully aware that journalism is tho
greatest medium I'm the world for the

that as managing editor you owe |
it to your subscribers to warn them |
of imposters. We are, of course, |
with the thrill of success and have |
been hurt by the story which | be-
lieve is Il cOpywrited article as | |
some months ago read a similar ac-
count in Philadelphia Sunday |
1t may be ludicTOus to compare a |
rabbit industry with what might |
formerly have been considered the
industries of past years,
yet can personally say that as

all listed on the New

have been considered as Industries
Of solidity that | at the present mo-
nent have more confidence i'm the
present stability and the future
growth of the rabbit industry than
such large concerns as the
Standard Oil Company, the Pennsyl-
rania Railroad, the General Motors,
Baldwin Locomotive Works, and the
Baltimore & Ohio.
It is amazing to me in, considering |
what I have just said to compare a
mall $10sOOO0O industry with such
gigantic enterprises as above refer

Thereby. Of course. they will ben

unless the Economy Committee
can devise some means Of sur
mounting legal and other limita-
tons. At present the District has
no legal authority to buy very
much in advance of current
needs, and the traditional pay-as-
you.go system Of District financ-
ing does not provide funds for
purchases in excess of prospective
requirements for the near future.
One great advantage possessed
by the District government, so
far Is its purchasing policy Is
concerned, lies in the require
