Dear 8 ir:- 
You will be pleased to hear that we have at last been successful 
la acclimatising the giant wild rice. It is making quite a good show¬ 
ing in two low country ponds. 
Our Ranger brought three or four stalks of giant wild rice to 
the Council meeting a few'days ago and the members were astounded to 
see the quantity of seed which each ear contained. 
We have two very large salt-water lagoons in our district and are 
wondering if you could recommend anything for these. From your book¬ 
let it would aopear that Muskgrass or Bago Pond Plant would be suitable. 
Yours etc., 
&

Dear Ur. Terrell, 
I am now in a position to report on the results of the plantings. 
I treated the Wild Rice in various ways. I sowed it indoors, I 
SOwed.it outdoors in mud, and I scattered it in shallow water on the 
edge of the pond. This I did with the seed I received from you. I 
planted the Wapato Duck Potatoes along the margin of the pond. Of all 
the methods of planting the Wild Rice, scattering in shallow water and 
leaving it to itself proved best. We had an unusually dry warm summer 
■which suited it well, quantities germinated and grew freely. We had it 
3 to 4 feet high, a most graceful and beautiful sight when in flower.

The Wapato Duck Potatoes grew vigorously and flowered in the same 
I have to thank you for giving me an opportunity of making these ex¬ 
periments . 
I am, 
Yours faithfully,
