Summary "Cottontail Rabbits in Relation to Trees and Farm Crops" by David E. Lantz is a scientific publication produced as part of the United States Department of Agriculture's farmers' bulletin series, likely during the early 20th century. This bulletin addresses the significant impact of cottontail rabbits on agricultural landscapes, particularly focusing on their feeding habits and the associated damage to trees and crops. The content discusses various management strategies for controlling rabbit populations and protecting farm resources from these pests. The book outlines the habits, breeding behavior, and dietary preferences of cottontail rabbits, emphasizing their rapid reproduction and potential for causing economic harm to agriculture, especially in areas with abundant vegetation. It presents several strategies for managing their populations, including hunting, trapping, and poisoning, while also suggesting preventive measures against crop damage like rabbit-proof fencing and protective washes for trees. Lantz stresses the importance of balancing the ecological role of rabbits with agricultural needs, advocating for approaches that mitigate their negative impacts without completely eliminating their populations. The recommended methods are practical and applicable, making this bulletin a useful resource for farmers and land managers grappling with the challenges posed by cottontail rabbits.
