These destructive rabbits are the Western jack rabbits. = The ones be- ing introduced in the East are cot- tontails. The cottontail is a very popular game animal all over central and eastern America, while the jack rabbit is not highly esteemed as a sporting proposition. A third rabbit, very numerous in our Northern States, is the snow- shoe rabbit or varying hare. These rabbits are considered very destruc- tive to young tree growth. The for- estry department of Minnesota has declared war on them, claiming that they kill from 80 to 90 per cent of young tree growth wherever they are found in large numbers.
