GAME AND FISHEBIES. 



and other game birds and animals. The water on this Sanctuary will be protected 

 and made attractive for water fowl of everj' specie while the collecting of speckled 

 trout spawn at this point will prove beneficial when developed and distributed 

 as fry to all suitable waters. 



Wild Celery and Wild Rice. 



Dm-ing the year the Department caused a quantity of wild celery plants 

 and wild rice seed to be placed in suitable waters in the districts of Muskoka, 

 Parr}' Sound and other districts as far west as Rainy River and Kenora, and the 

 results obtained have shown the success of the undertaking and worthy of further 

 work of this nature, which is given ever}' support by the many local fish and game 

 associations. These plants reproduce and spread rapidly and will soon provide 

 the needed food to attract water-fowl in the various districts.
