How To Get More Ducks 
If Jack Miner, with nothing but a brick yard pond, 
a few live decoys, plenty of food and a lot of pres- 
erverance can bring thousands of geese from all 
points of the compass, surely you can materially 
increase the waterfowl supply on your waters. 
Because a place is not in the beaten path of the 
large regular waterfowl flyways is no excuse for 
hesitancy. Mr. Miner’s experience shows that the 
ducks and geese will go many miles out of their 
way to get a good meal at a cafeteria that is prop- 
erly safeguarded against intruders. 
Many Sportsmen have been planting duck foods in 
suitable waters, and the results have been good. If 
the duck hunters want more ducks they must also 
get busy and do a lot of duck food planting, lake 
building, creating refuges, ete. 
Facts About Duck Marshes 
There are millions of acres in this country that 
have been drained to make farming lands. Much of 
it would be worth more today if in its original 
state. There is more money in one hundred acres of 
good duck marsh than there is in an equal acreage 
of corn. The duck marsh properly handled will ex- 
ceed the profit of the average farm land. 
To attract wild fowl to your marsh lands you 
must take means to conserve a sufficient amount of 
water, plant the food on which they thrive, pro- 
vide suitable cover and protect them from their 
natural enemies. This will attract the birds and 
you can hold them if the food holds out and you 
do not shoot too heavily. The investments that 
are made in this direction will be well repaid. 
Don’t cheat. The man who illegally takes game 
or fish robs his fellow man and defrauds his state. 
He robs posterity of its rightful heritage. It is the 
duty of every citizen to report violations of fish 
and game laws and to endeavor to cause the erring 
brother to see the error of his ways.
