IT’S A FACT 
There are but three fundamentals that concern 
wildlife of every kind, they are: To Find Food, Pro- 
tection From Enemies and To Reproduce. Make 
your place attractive and you will enjoy plenty of 
game and lots of sport. 
ARE NATURAL WILD DUCK FOODS LEGAL 
TO PLANT AND SHOOT OVER? 
Yes, indeed they are, both the U. S. Fish and Wild- 
life Service and your state game department endorse 
the planting of natural foods. It is not their inten- 
tion to prevent sportsmen from duck shooting. Bait- 
ing with grain is illegal, but planting a natural feed- 
ing ground is legal and considered as an act of 
conservation. Natural foods that grow in and about 
those waters provide for the waterfowl not only 
during the shooting season, but prior to and after 
the season. They support the waterfowl during 
their Spring and Fall migration as well as provide 
those most needed breeding grounds. 
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT ENDORSES 
THESE DUCK FOODS 
Research Report No. 30 called “Food of Game 
Ducks in the United States and Canada” explains 
the value and the propagation of these natural wild 
duck foods as lsted in this catalog. The United 
States Fish and Wildlife Service recommends their 
planting. Your state game department will also 
endorse natural food planting. Natural foods not 
only attract the wild ducks during the shooting sea- 
son, but prior to and after the season, Spring, Sum- 
mer and Fall. 
WILL THEY POISON LIVESTOCK? 
In the history (60 years) of this duck food busi- 
ness, we have never learned of one instance where 
livestock ever have been affected by eating natural 
wild duck foods. In fact, unless forage is very short, 
the livestock will not molest these duck food plants. 
No, they are not poison to man, bird or beast. 
WILD DUCKS NEED GRAVEL 
If your favorite duck shooting place has a soft mud 
bottom soil and no gravel or coarse sand, it will be a 
real improvement to establish a small bed or two of 
gravel or sand for them in shallow waters. All wild 
waterfowl have a very active digestive system (un- 
like upland birds they have no crop in which to store 
feed) therefore, they use more grinding materials in 
their system to rapidly dispose of their food. Water- 
fowl eat at least twice daily, and if they don’t find 
that needed gravel or sand, they must leave your 
waters to obtain it.

PROFESSIONAL SERVICE 
We Plan---Plant and Make Your 
Marshes, Ponds or Streams 
Attractive 
An ideal method of procedure in developing an 
attractive feeding ground for either waterfowl, fish, 
or game is to employ the services of our expert to 
come and make a personal examination of the prop- 
erty and supervise the planting thereof. We will 
examine the soils, test the waters, identify the botan- 
ical growth, determine what will grow and where to 
Ss 
BEFORE PLANTING 
plant it to make a paradise for game or fish. Where 
Leagues or Associations plan to develop several lakes 
or properties, Clubs or private individuals controlling 
large areas wish to make plantings to the extent of 
$1000 or more we recommend this service for best 
and quickest results. 
Perhaps you now have some natural foods grow- 
ing in those waters or about the shores unbeknown 
to you, this service will eliminate the danger of 
duplicating in planting. It will insure the planting 
of the proper plants adapted to those particular 
water or soil conditions. Experimental planting on 
a large scale could be very costly. One experienced 
in planting these materials can often make the same 
quantity cover twice the area, with better results 
than the inexperienced. Proper planting is very im- 
portant, it is the hinge upon which good results 
hang. 
By having this service you will learn what grows 
there, its value, what we recommend planting, quan- 
tity, price and where as well as when to plant. 
Our charge for this service is based on the size of 
the area and its distance from Oshkosh. When we 
are able to obtain several contracts in one state it 
enables us to quote a special low price, making this 
service very inexpensive. Write for quotation.
