"If wild rice can be made to grow, ducks will be sure to come in greater numbers each 

 year, while regular feeding with corn at proper times may prove an additional attraction to 

 whole flocks of ducks during the migration. Tame call-ducks may be introduced, and if 

 there are near-by woods, nest-boxes for the attraction of the wood-ducks should be put up" 



(see page 337 ).
