1. If you can control your water level, lower or dry the pond or 
lake or a strip around the shore line. Disc or drag the ground so as 
to break up the soil. Broadcast the seed, then disc or drag to cover 
it. From time to time let in enough water to keep the ground moist, 
but not flooded. When the seed is formed, flood with 6 to 10 inches of 
water and you will have a wonderful place for ducks. After it is a 
foot high it will grow in up to 6 inches of water. 
2. If you cannot manipulate the water level, keep some of the 
seed on hand and scatter the seed on the bare mud as fast as the water 
goes down during the summer. If the soil is wet and muddy, nothing 
further need be done. If the soil is dry, disc or drag to loosen it 
up, broadcast the seed, then drag to cover it. On small areas this may 
be done with an iron Zarden rake. Rake to loosen the soil, broadcast 
seed, and rake in as you would grass seed on a lawn. 
Wild Duck Millet seed may also be planted on any land that con- 
tains enourh moisture to grow a good garden, In strips or plots near 
brush or marsh, it makes good food for pheasants and other upland game 
birds. For ducks it should be planted near water. 
In the Central United States where we have plenty of warm weather | 
and sunshine in summer, this crop matures in about 60 days, It is 
usually planted there during June, July and August. If you plant 60 
days before heavy frost you should have good results. Ducks and geese . 
like to graze on the tender sprouting plants two or three weeks after 
they are planted, as well as on the ripened grain. | 
On the Pacific Coast where there is fog and cool nights, it often 
takes three months for it to mature. Plantings may start as early as 
May. 
In the southeastern United States we believe that it is best to 
plant in August or early September about the same time as tame rice. It 
is always well, unless you have irrigation, to plant so as to take ad- 
vantage of rainfall. 
Make sure of your supply and plenty of ducks and pheasants next 
fall by reservi our seed now. If ordered now, the seed can be 
shipped by freight or truck at a considerable saving.
