 WILD DUCKS GROWN TAME 



Golf Clubs that are provided with water hazards can make their 

 Courses much more attractive by calling in the wild waterfowl. If the hazard is 

 large, natural foods can be planted; if small, cracked corn and wheat will be a 

 great attraction. To induce Ducks to come to a small pond it is usually neces- 

 sary at first to keep a few decoy Mallards with wings clipped to act as 

 "barkers."

 GOLF BALL RETRIEVERS ON THE WATER-HAZARD 



The decoy Ducks, and the wild Ones too, become very tame where pro- 

 tected and are always entertaining. When "Every Golf Course is a Bird Sanc- 

 tuary" it may be worth while to develop a strain of Canvasbacks to serve as 

 retrievers for the lost golf balls.
