Muskgrass | 
A Rapid Growing Duck Food 
Widgeon, Gadwalls, 
Green and Blue Wing 
Teal, Bufflehead, Ruddy 
Duck, Mallards, and Blue- 
bills all like the Musk¬ 
grass. 
A few bushels of musk¬ 
grass (chara) planted j 
this Fall will produce a 
few acres of food for the 
ducks next Fall. Ducks 
feed upon the foliage as 
well as the little tubers 
which are produced in 
abundance. 
Both marsh ducks and 
diving ducks will feed 
upon this plant. When 
once started they will 
grow faster than weeds 
in your garden. 
This plant is also a 
valuable food and cover plant for fish. 
Plants with seed spores can be planted now in 
either fresh or alkali waters from 2 to 12 feet in 
depth on almost any bottom. The one require¬ 
ment for a successful growth of muskgrass is that 
the waters contain some lime, which can be de¬ 
termined by the presence of shell bearing crea¬ 
tures, such as snails, etc., or if there is limestone 
in the vicinity. 
Four bushels will plant an acre.
