RABBITS NOW
RUSSIA'S NEED OF MEAT
LONDON, 3rd October
A firm has been established at Kazan, Russia, for "socialist rabbit culture, by means of which it ia hoped to secure by 1933 an annual supply of 700,000 kilogrammes of the most . nutritious meat and 200,000 of the most precious skins."
A message to this effect has been received from Moscow, says the Riga correspondent of "The Times."
The Soviet Commissariat of Agriculture announces that an attempt is being made to create a State rabbit industry, and the farm at Kazan is to be stocked with imported pedigree rabbits.
The farm is intended to serve as a nursery for the development of rabbitfarming by "collcctiviscd peasants throughout the Soviet."
