WISCONSIN AQUATIC NURSERIES, 
Lately on the few remaining attractive places 
which abound in natural foods larger numbers of 
Wild Ducks congregated than for many years. 
Do your bit toward conservation of the Wild j 
Duck, help to prolong this great outdoor sport. 
Plant that pond, river or bay with natural aquatic : 
food plants, increase the range of the waterfowl 
and you will be helping to increase their numbers 
and at the same time insure some real sport for 
yourself and sportsmen associates. 
WILD DUCKS MUST EAT 
Did the wild ducks and geese darken the sky 
over your local waters or at the preserve last fall? ; 
If not, there is some reason, undoubtedly the very , 
reason is that there is not enough natural food 
growing there to attract them. 
Wild ducks cannot live upon waters without food j 
and therefore migrate on to the places where they 
find plenty of the kinds of food they like. In waters 1 
where their natural food does not grow now, it can 
very easily be planted and the waters made attrac- j 
tive to the wild waterfowl. 
There are undoubtedly several food plants adapted 
to your water conditions and it will be advantageous 
to have a variety growing in your waters. Different 
kinds of waterfowl are fond of different kinds of 
food. Different plants produce food in various 
forms at different times throughout the season. 
Therefore, a variety of foods attract a larger num¬ 
ber of ducks and holds them for a longer interval. 
FEDERAL REGULATIONS 
All evidence indicates that the following migra¬ 
tory waterfowl regulations will continue throughout 
1936 and 1937, but there is a possibility that shoot¬ 
ing periods in various states will be re-adjusted to 
the better advantage of the sportsmen. Owing to 
the more favorable 1935 climatic conditions inundat¬ 
ing many ponds in the breeding section, it is esti¬ 
mated by various authorities that our supply of 
Wild Ducks have actually started to increase, which i 
may soon bring the sportsmen a 45 DAY SHOOT- I 
ING SEASON. A longer season may possibly come ! 
this year. Much credit must be given to the Bureau 
of Biological Survey for their excellent work, also 
the Emergency Conservation Works, State Fish & j 
Game Departments and individuals, Sportsmen and 
Clubs, for their endeavor to create more attractive 
feeding, breeding and resting grounds.
