Wild Duck Millet 
ATTRACTS THE SHALLOW WATER DUCKS 
Also known as Goose 
Grass. Ranks almost as 
high as Wild Rice as a good 
Duck Coaxer in localities 
where Wild Rice cannot be 
growm. Wild Duck Millet 
grows to be 4 to 6 feet high 
and makes very good blinds 
as well as producing a large 
seed head with an abund¬ 
ance of food for the Wild 
Ducks. 
Smarhyeed 
A popular food with the 
Mallards. On the low-lands 
where Smartweed grows, 
from Canada to the Gulf, 
Mallards will surely stop 
during ; 'their fall flight. 
They are particularly fond 
of feeding upon Smartweed 
in places which overflow in fall, where they may 
dibble the seeds from the mud in shallow waters. 
IMPORTANT FOR QUAIL 
Both the Wild Millet and Smartweed are con¬ 
sidered as important food plants for upland game 
birds. They produce an abundance of seeds which 
Quail and Grouse are very fond of. In studying the 
habits of the game birds we find that twice daily 
they go to the nearby ponds or streams for water 
and like to linger there and feed. 
WHAT AND WHEN TO PLANT 
Seeds of both Wild Duck Millet and ,'Sifaartweed 
may be planted during spring, summer or fall. 
WHERE TO PLANT 
The Wild Duck Millet and Smartweed grow under 
similar conditions on damp lowlands and mud flats. 
They have proven very good along the Illinois and 
Mississippi Rivers, also on old Rice fields and in 
such places as can be flooded during the duck season. 
They do best on a fairly rich soil. 
HOW TO PLANT 
It is well to break the soil where possible. One 
may use a drag, disc or grub hoe. Then sow the 
seed broadcast, after which drag or rake the planted 
area so as to cover the seed. 
Forty pounds will plant one acre.
