WILD (JAP) MILLET 
(Echinochloa Crusgalli) 
ATTRACTS THE SHALLOW WATER DUCKS 
Also known as Goose Grass. Ranks almost as 
high as Wild Rice as a good Duck Coaxer in locali- 
ties where Wild Rice cannot be grown. Wild Millet 
grows to be 4 to 6 feet high and makes very good 
blinds as well as producing a large seed head with 
an abundance of food for the Wild Ducks. 
SMARTWEED 
(Polygonum Pensylvanicum) 
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. 
WHEN AND WHERE TO PLANT 
Seeds of both Wild Millet and Smartweed may 
be planted any time of year. 
The Wild Millet and Smartweed grow under sim- 
ilar 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. 
On a wet, sticky soil one 
may simply broadcast the 
seed with good results, no 
need to work such soil. 
Forty pounds will plant 
one acre.
