How To Attract and Hold Wild Ducks! 
GIANT WILD RICE Brings in the Ducks... 
One of the most famous and best known of the natural foods for wild ducks is 
the Wild Rice. Mallards, Pintails, Black Ducks, Canada Geese and other water- 
fowl fly hundreds of miles to beds of Wild Rice, where they feast eagerly on the 
ripened grain. Excellent cover. Giant Wild Rice is easy to grow whenever fully 
ripe, sure-growing seed is used. Many areas throughout the U. S. and Canada 
where Wild Rice does not grow, provide conditions suitable for it. Such areas 
could and should be planted with Giant Wild Rice. Briefly stated the conditions 
required for its successful growth are fresh water streams, lakes or ponds having a 
change of water, soft mud bottom, and water from 6 inches to 3 feet in depth. 
Sunny sheltered bays or coves where planting will not-get the full current or direct 
wash of the waves are ideal for it. 
Wild Rice will not grow in water salty to taste. Near the sea coast it will 
grow along streams twenty-five to fifty miles above where they enter the sea, 
where the water is not salty to taste and the tide not over four feet. Spots where 
fresh water brooks or springs enter the stream are more fresh and better suited 
for the growing of Rice.
