Bureau of Biological Survey, have shown Muskgrass 
to be eaten by Mallards, Black Ducks, Pintails, Wid- 
geons, Teals, Gadwalls, Buffleheads, Goldeneyes, 
Ruddy Ducks, Bluebills, and Redheads. It is also 
a good food for domesticated wild ducks, being 
much cheaper than feeding them grain. Muskgrass 
grows so fast that the ducks do not feed it out. 
In planting, throw bits of the Muskgrass cov- 
ered with small seeds or oogonia around your pond 
at the rate of 4 to 5 bushels per acre and next sum- 
mer you will have plenty of food for fish and wild 
ducks which will last throughout the fall until the 
freeze-up. It is also used by muskrats in building 
their winter homes. Muskgrass is furnished for 
planting only for a short time in the fall. Now is the 
time to plant it. Price 5 bu. $15.00; 1 bu. $4.00. 


PERSONAL HELP WITH PLANTINGS 
Every year we make trips to help others 
develop their places for Ducks, Fish, Musk- 
rats and other Wildlife. It may be to the wilds 
of Quebec, the Carolinas, or the Pacific Coast. 
This wide experience is a great help to insure 
successful plantings. Surveys made and plant- 
ing supervised if desired. If interested in such 
service, write.
