one hundred and fifty years. The

As ,ui illustration of the rabbit pest

and esperiy in the drier sections of

an estate recentiy taken over by the
New Zealand zovernment, comprising
12.4 Id acres of freehold and a pastoral
run of 19,250, there were killed or cap-
tured about 120,000 rabbits in order to
clear up the property so as to make it
suitable for tl returned soldiers.

lease is dry? Men like S. M. Gose of Decatur, one of the heaviest investors in the
field, states, “I consider the Cumberland property 100 per cent better than many
properties now being drilled in Burkburnett; it looks better than the lease I recently
assisted in putting a company on." John Scott, another successful operator in the
Burkburnett field, says, “The Cumberland property should prove very valuable; it
looks good.” The opinions of these men, along with others who are familiar with
surroundings and every foot of land on which the Cumberland will drill must be
accepted. They know good property; they have been successful in their investments
in a number of fields.
