[back of photo] #3 Western Kans Jack Rabbit Roundup. Showing a small part of the pen. The woman, who helped on the drive, is looking to see that all the rabbits are dead and not left to suffer. The rabbits are processed for animal food. Mink raisers use them. Farmers feed them to hogs and chickens. Young jacks are good eating an etimated 10,000 to 20000 were killed on this drive. 20 of these jacks will eat as much wheat, grass as a cow. They damage vegetation more in dry years because the vegetation does not respond and they eat into the roots. Given me by Lee Larrabee HC
