THE JACK RABBIT, SANTA CLARA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA 



The 'Tabbit drive" no longer ofcurs in California. Irrigation and the resulting in- 

 creased occupation and cultivation of the land have effectually reduced the ranks of the 

 previous hordes in the state and driven the remnant to a restricted range among the foot- 

 hills. The largest rabbit drive known to have taken place in California was that of 1896 

 at Fresno, when eight thousand people participated and twenty thousand rabbits were 

 killed
