plant. It produces an abundance of seed which Wild 
Ducks and Geese are fond of. Most favorable re¬

July on places which go dry or can be drained dur¬ 
ing summer and flooded during the duck season. 
MILO MAIZE 
This plant is used In the same manner as Duck 
Wheat and is planted about the same time under 
similar conditions. Both Quail and Grouse are very 
fond of the Wild Buckwheat and Milo Maize, plant 
a little space here and there in the waste places. 
HOW TO PLANT 
Break the soil, with a plow, disc or drag, then 
broadcast the seed using about 50 pounds to the 
acre and drag or rake the planted area to cover seed. 
Price $12 per 100 pounds.

ly well in the South and

Dear Sir: Atten.: Mr. Coon: 
Your letter has just reached me. Would have been glad to 
meet you while in Montgomery. Would have been delighted 
to have had you inspect our lake. The greatest trouble with 
planting anything in this lake is the various growth. The soil 
is very rich, grows all kinds of moss and other water plants. 
The moss is the great trouble, it is so dense it is hard to get 
any kind of seed down to the soil. However our WILD RICE 
grew fine, our SPATTEEDOCK and LOTUS WATER LILY 
are well set, made a fine crop this year. 
To show what NATURAL FOOD will do, we have ten Wild 
Ducks now to every one last year. If we can just get some 
other plants well set, we will have the greatest duck lake in 
the country. 
We have so many ducks now I believe' they would destroy 
the tubers if we were to plant more. I know they would get 
most of them. How about spring planting? How late can 
Muskgrass and Sago Pond Weed be planted successfully? 
Will give you an order for some of both at the right time. 
Very truly yours, 
JFY:S (Signed) J. F. YARBROUGH.
