Farmers and townsmen, harvest- ing a comparatively new ‘“prairie | crop”—jackrabbits—have built up & | sizeable industry that has reversed | one of the sleight-of-hand standbys. ! |lnstead of pulling bunnies out of a! hat they're putting the rabbits into | the chapeaux. Skins from thousands of North | Dakota jackrabbits are shipped an-} nually to New York where the fur! is mixed with longer hairs of tame! rabbits in making felt for hats. | Banner year for the industry was| 1929 when about $3,000,000 was paid by hide and fur commission firms at the rate of $1:65 per pound. Prices have dropped severely since then, 25 cents per pound being the quotation this year with income es- timated at $100,000.
