L. ». liueiiiem, oi Lianas, wno are
in Ballinger arranging to load a
car of rabbits here next Friday,
talked interestingly of the rab-
bit industry so recently develop-
ed and said that the value of rab-
bit hair, like the value now being
placed on many other things that
were at one time considered
worthless, is due to the European
war.
“We could not handle the rab-
bits just for the food value
alone,” said Mr. Bessonett, “but
there is a demand for the hair
and this added to the meat value
of the rabbit makes it possible to
place them on the market at a
fair price. We are making ef-
forts to get ten ear loads of Jack
rabbits in Western Texas within
the next two or three weeks, and
will continue to buy rabibts in
small quantities until they begin
to shed, and the price we are
paying will make rabbits bring
from $150 to $3.00 per dozen,
when the hunter collects the
bounty from the county, which
1 understand is being paid.”
Mr. Bessonett stated that a
plant had been located at Dallas
and machines were in operation,
.emoving the hair from the rab-
bits, and that this was being
cleaned, dried, and prepared for
shipment to Philadelphia, and
other manufacturing centers,
where is is used in making hats,
hats.
The war in Europe has stopped
the fur industry in that country,
and while the domestic rabbit fur
is not as good as the imported,
it serves the purpose, and Amer-
ican manufacturers are turning
to it. Mr. Bessonett said that
they hoped to establish the mar-
ket by shipping a car load of rab-
bits form this place next Friday
and would arrange to get express
shipments regularly. The hunter
can sack his rabbits, weigh them
and ship in small lots direct to
Dallas, where they will be
cepted and paid for at a
to be quoted from time to time.
At the price offered for rab-
bits delivered to the car next
Friday, a car load of rabbits
will bring about $600. A man who
makes frequent trips to the coun-
try stated today that he believed
that there were a million rabbits
in Runnels County. Allowing him
a pretty good margin for reck-
less estimates, there is no doubt
several thousand dollars worth
of rabbits in the county, and
when they are killed a two-fold
benefit is derived.
