Promote Route 13

Since Route 13 is the principal
artery covering most areas in the

elared this week.

while we Cannot make a spe-

decide for themselves whether they
want TO come your way" Mr.. Horty
said. I'VE have 10 be honest with
our patrons, and where more than
one route exists to given area
we must give item that informa-
tion.
However, IL you make your ap-
peal attractive enough, / am sure
that you will be able to get more

ness Is a slow one--and that's es-
pecially true in your field" he
declared.

Is Being Discussed

season. Box-trapping data for por-
tions of two areas indicated a cal
culated survival into the breeding
season of less than 13 percent.
The cost of each rabbit shot or
surviving into the breeding season
was $6.98.
"It was concluded that release
of imported rabbits, either during
or after the open season, is decid-
edly uneconomical and that very
little Improvement in hunting op-
portunity can be expected for the
money spent"
The plight of the cottontail has
been carefully studied by the New
Jersey Fish and Game Department
"An intensive investigation into
the effects of stocking imported
cottontails in northern New Jer-
sey was carried out between No
vember 1949, and October, 1854, OH
four areas of about 100 acres each;
Area was not stocked and not
hunted: Area was hunted but not
stocked; Area 8 was not hunted
but was stocked; Area 4 was both
hunted and stocked.
"The rate of reproduction by
spring survivors was sufficient to
insure an abundance of rabbits by
fall on all areas, stocked and un-
stocked, hunted and not hunted.
Increases in cottontail popula-
tions were not obtained by stock
ing imported rabbits, even as many
as 80 per 100 acres. A method
which apparently did increase cot
tontail population was the intelli-
gent use of habitat manipulation" F"
Arthur Harper, writing in the
Ohio Conservation Departments
publication "The Cottontail in
Ohio" realistically describes the
rabbit management problem. His
remarks pertain to all states where
a larger population of rabbits is
desired.
"The fact is that mans efforts
to restock rabbits just can't hold a
candle to the rabbits own system.
We have seen that if pair of rab-
bits has good place to live with
plenty of food and cover, they will
increase to about 20 rabbits in
one. year. Instead of trying to sub
stitute man methods for increas-
ing rabbit population, why not as
sist the rabbits to do the job for
themselves? If they need more
food and. cover, let's provide it for
them. In other words, we can in
crease the rabbit population in a
given area by increasing its carry
ing capacity, just as farmer can
increase the number of milk cows
III a pasture by improving the pas
ture."

speak and assemble, freedom of in
dividual enterprise, freedom to earn
and to prosper, freedom to think
and to work, are the heritage of
every American, child or adult.
Farm Bureau Women urge that
these ideas be widely known, stud
led, and acknowledged. To stjmu-
late and cultivate clear and right
thinking by placing carefully Sc
lected books within easy reach of
all is one way to combat totalitari-
an and socialistic thinking which
is tempting the unwary with fools
gold of false ideologies, unsound
theories, and subversiye sugges-
tiOns. The sound and tried way of
American free enterprise which
has made us prosperous in a
greater measure than any other ma
ton on earth, bringing all neces-
stiles and comforts to an ever
larger number of our citizens must
be preserved by conscious effort
and a clear understanding of its
fundamentals, and an appreciation
of its basic principles. To this end
a nationwide project is under way,
giving good books on freedom to
public and school Libraries. The
assistance and cooperation of
teachers and parents is cordially
solicited to encourage the reading
and study of these carefully chosen
books. They were selected from a
well investigated list of $50 vol
umes by a national committee of
Farm Bureau people, given to Del
aware libraries with the thought
fulness of conscientious folk.
At brief ceremony recently the
Governor, ]. Caleb BOggs, accepted
the first ten volumes in behalf of
the Delaware State Library Com
mission, thus this worthwhile pro-
gram got underway.
