WASHINGTON JACK RABBIT A PEST A recent effort was made to clean up the huge bands o jack rabbits infesting the section north of Prosser on the, Yakima River, Washington. A drive was organized, but hunters did not turn out in sufficient numbers to make a solid drive and while thousands of the big jacks were stirred up, the vast majority succeeded in escaping through the thin Hue of beaters. It is proposed to stage another drive soon with. U0O to S00 beaters in line. If left undisturbed-- the jack rabbits increase to a degree vhlch seriously threatens the crops. In previous drives an many- asr 3,000 rabbits have been slaughtered in a day.
