23. In those days, they had rabbit drives. The rabbits got so thick,
yeah, we had rabbit drives . . . somebody organized it and we
made a big circle, then weâd close in on âem, had a big pen
out in the middle and boy, the jack rabbits, they squealed.
One time, just south of the river, we had a drive. We circled
clear around about four miles; we walked about two miles.
And never let âem go by and drove âem into that pen, and
people got in there with clubs, and clubbed âem to death. And
then they got some money out of the rabbits.
They had to do something with the rabbits eating the crops,
theyâd just eat it down to nothinâ. There were so many . . . And
it helped out.

63. At a young age, Laura Ingalls moved with
her family to South Dakota where they
decided to start a farm. Very few large
trees grew in South Dakota. The Ingalls
did not have enough money to buy lumber
for their house.
But they needed shelter from the below zero
degree winter. Their new house was built
in two weeks and kept them warm in
winter / cool in summer. They lived in their
new house for many years.
