"Now, looking," he said, "a man can make money killing jack rabbits. He can make $20 a day at it. If we can show that there is a commercial value to the rabbit, it will be the most effective means of controlling the pest. It will induce men to go out into the sagebrush and hunt them. Under the present conditions, our campaign of killing rabbits in the farming country is receiving constant setbacks by reason of the fact they are continually breeding out in the waste places."

The rodent control leader is now planning his winter's campaign, which is expected, as in years past, to cause the destruction of ten of thousands of rabbits, especially in the southern Idaho counties. One man, he said, can skin 400 rabbits a day, after practice. The skins, he said, are made up to imitate furs of other animals, some very handsome results being produced. Large quantities also are used in making felt goods.

"I am interested in the price of wild rabbit skins," said Mr. Croutch's letter to the fur dealers, "for the reason that in the state of Idaho this animal is the cause of considerable loss to farm crops and a campaign will be conducted during the coming winter by this office to exterminate the pest in several counties in the state, and if a good price can be secured for the skins, it would greatly aid in creating interest to kill rabbits. As the skins would be gathered, the price would be reduced to $20 a day, and the price would be $20 a day.  The farmers who are cooperating with this office in the campaign, it would be necessary that the firm buying the skins make some arrangement to assure a market at a known price and prompt payment for the skins. This would be necessary for the reason that the farmers would not prepare the skins for market unless they can be assured of a market at a good price and prompt payment. Wilson Gets Nobel Prize.
