Natural Foods for Upland Game--Ducks, Song Birds 
Under natural conditions most duck areas have a 
geod growth of Nut Grass only once every few years 
when water levels permit good growth. However, with 
our fresh seed tubers you can establish an excellent 
feeding bed for the ducks, avail, turkeys and doves 
wherever you want to attract the birds. If you have 
any vonds that can be controlled as to water supply 
and level, this is an excellent natural food to use. Drain 
the area, then sow 40 Ibs. per acre, and after the plants 
mature and just prior to the opening of the season, 
fleod the area and then you'll be survrised to see how 
the ducks “work” in the vonds. SEED: 100 Ibs., $65; 
40 Ihs., $28; smaller lots, 75c Ib.

Wild Duck Millet is an ideal duck and goose food for 
you to plant. It will grow in ordinary garden soil and 
that is why it can be used in planting ponds that may 
be flooded during the duck flight. This is an excellent 
cover and blind plant also, so by one planting you may 
accomplish a two-fold purpose, both food and cover. 
Also eaten by upland game birds.

FOOD PATCHES FOR UPLAND GAME BIRDS 
The secret in attracting wildlife, song birds, quail, 
pheasants, grouse, or any other wildlife, lies in furnish- 
ing them with plenty of food, cover, shelter, escape and 
concealment areas, and nesting sites. Food patches 
should always be near adequate cover. 
in the case of quail, pheasants or other upland game, 
furnishing cover, concealment and protection for game 
birds, should be established connecting food patches 
with cover — fence-rows planted with climbing vines, 
shrubs, trees, provide this sort of cover in a most ex- 
cellent way, and they also furnish an abundance of food 
in the berries, and seeds they produce. If wildlife on 
your property does not find enough food, it leaves for 
other areas in search of food, or becomes weak, and 
undernourished, and easy prey for predators. 
The term “food patches” refers to plots of grains, 
seeds, foliage, and tuber-producing crop plants, most 
of which are planted each year. The soils should be

to 2 acre, preferably in long, narrow strips, located in, 
or adjacent to natural cover — such as brushy fence 
rows, ditch banks, gulleys, or borders, where fruit, 
kerry and seed-bearing trees, shrubs, vines and plants 
grow naturally, or are pianted for the purpose of fur- 
nishing natural food and cover for wildlife. If interest- 
ed write for list of seed, fruit and berry-bearing trees, 
shrubs and vines for wildlife. 
Sow 25 Ibs. of seed mixture per acre in spring — pre- 
ferably broadcast by hand, since the drill will not 
equally distribute the mixture, due to the difference in 
sizes of the various seeds in the mixtures. The mix- 
Plant-in plots of about 4. 
tures include plants that hold their seeds well thru | 
winter, providing food when the wildlife needs it most.
