Rabbit Increase : A Warning, A R. Tomlinson
Rabbit Increase : A Warning, A R. Tomlinson
Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4
THE increase in rabbits which has become apparent in many parts of our agricultural areas is a warning to those who considered the problem solved by myxomatosis that these pests are still present and are quite capable of building up to a major menace again, unless they are continually and effectively controlled.
