Peactentan of ducks’ stomachs made by the U. S. 
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 biis 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.
