A Sydney exchange contributor notes rabbits became a major pest about 27 years ago and have spread across the State. Sheep numbers fell from 62,000,000 in 1893 to 28,000,000 by 1902, then fluctuated between 4,000,000 and 40,000,000. The State can carry about 35,000,000 rabbits, with droughts recurring every few years despite costly measures. Netting across padstocks of 640 acres could help, but netting costs and wages would total about £200,000,000 for the entire State.
