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 8 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. 
The Wild Millet is often erroneously called Wild 
Riee in Louisiana and other Gulf Coast States where 
it grows among the other tall marsh growth. 
WHEN AND WHERE TO PLANT 
Seed of the Wild Millet may be planted any time of 
year. It will grow to maturity in from 45 to 90 days 
depending on the climate. 
The Wild Millet grows best on damp lowlands and 
mud flats or along the banks of streams or lakes. It 
has done very well along river bottoms subject to 
overflow. On old rice field or lakes or ponds that 
are dry in summer and flooded in duck season are 
ideal. It grows best on a fairly fertile 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 simple broadcast the 
seed with good results, no need to work such soil. 
PHEASANTS 
The Wild Millet seed are often eaten by these up- 
land game birds as they frequent the lowland and 
marshes.
