29TH SUCCESSFUL VEAR

Attracting Wild Fowl and Fish

OESN’T the picture on
the cover bring back
pleasant memories? Even-
ing on a marshy lake — dark
shadows of flying ducks
swoop by between you and
the setting sun and drop
in to feed in a nearby, wild
rice-fringed pool. Still they
come and their quacks drift
in to your lakeside shack
all through the moonlight,
autumn night.

What wouldn’t you give
to live those memories over
again! You can. All you
need is a few acres of suit-

attractive to game. stream, properly handled.

Such a place can usually be
found near enough your home so you can enjoy it
as often as you like without spending time and
money to go to some distant place where you have
been accustomed to see such sights.

Many people I know, who had no duck or fish
ponds have made them in various ways; by damming
a small stream, spring, or place where the water runs
Vhen it rains; by drilling an artesian well or
“fountain”; or by digging or blasting out ponds in
comparatively dry marsh. The best thing about it,
is that these places are actually bringing very gratify-
ing results in attracting wild ducks and geese, and
some of them also afford good fishing. Some of
these places have an area of less than ten acres. Jack
Miner of Kingsville, Ontario attracts thousands of
wild geese and ducks to a pond of less than one acre
in size. If you have a larger area with some natural
marsh or swamp, ponds, lakes or streams, you are
fortunate.

Back in 1890, my father, John K. Terrell got the
idea of attracting wild ducks to a worthless marsh,
that the former owner had felt happy to sell to him,
and to raise more fish instead of chasing the country
over after them. From distant haunts of wildfowl and
fish he gathered and planted seeds of the foods that
had attracted them to these places. He realized that
unless he had an abundance of their favorite foods he
could not keep them any more than he could keep
cattle in his barnyard without feeding them.

Pens of live decoys were used to attract passing
flocks of ducks that seldom stopped before, and made
them acquainted with the good lunch counter he had
provided for them. As ducks began to come and nest
on the property, it was found necessary to make war
on their natural enemies. Crows stole and ate more
than half of the wild duck eggs and numerous re-
mains of ducks were seen that had been killed by
mink. Ducklings were also taken in large numbers
by semi-wild house cats, snapping turtles, and com-
mon house or wharf rats. It gave us more pleasure

1

to shoot a crow than a duck for we knew it meant
that old mother duck would hatch her eggs and add
ten or a dozen young ducklings to the population of
our preserve.

By 1896 he had made his place stand out as the best
place in Wisconsin for ducks and fish. Ducks of all
kinds arose in clouds from feeding grounds created.
As a young boy, I remember it was no trick after
school to run down to the lake and return about dark
with a market-basket full of fish — all our family could
eat. Other people took notice of what he had done
and began to ask him to help them improve their
lakes and marshes in the same way. It was an inter-
esting hobby for our spare time and many of my boy-
hood week-ends were spent collecting seeds and watch-
ing the ducks and fish. Game Commissioners and
owners of fish and game preserves asked us to examine
their properties and plant whatever was necessary for
their particular conditions.

Since 1908 I have been carrying on this work with
an ever-growing force of assistants to handle the de-
tails, but when it comes to questions of what to plant
under certain conditions, I make it a point to pass
judgment on these problems. It is a law in our or-
ganization that any planting material we send out must
be the best obtainable — the sure-growing kind we have
furnished for the past 29 years.

Today noted authorities tell us that drainage, pollu-
tion, and civilization are destroying the natural haunts
and feeding grounds of our waterfowl and fish. It is
very important to make new feeding, breeding and
stopping places to replace these, for without them our
wild ducks and fish cannot exist, no matter what else
we may do to protect them.

Fall is Nature’s sowing season, a very good time to
plant. In the following pages are described the most
suitable wildfowl and fish foods for fall planting and
how to grow them. If you want to be successful with
your plantings to attract wild ducks or fish, read this
booklet carefully before ordering, ask our advice on
any point you wish. Use Terrell’s sure-growing seed.
We may be able to help you save much time, money,
labor and planting material that would otherwise be
spent in experimenting. At your service,

Wild Ducks
Go Wild Over
TERRELL'S
Giant Wild Rice

ITS VALUE

The large, nutritious grain of the Wild Rice is
one of the principal Autumn foods of wild ducks,
particularly Mallards, Pintails, Black Ducks, Widgeon,
Teal, also Canada Geese and other wild fowl. Mal-
lards and Black Ducks feed almost exclusively on
Wild Rice, where it grows abundantly, and will go
hundreds of miles out of their line of flight to the
marshes where it grows.

On frosty mornings, one can always jump a
flock of ducks out of the tall growtn of Wild Rice,
where they have been feeding, sheltered from the
cold winds. Wild Rice also furnishes cover, where,
in early spring, ducks hide their nests and rear their
ducklings; while around about, they find an abun-
dance of their favorite food.

A Wild Rice bed, when once established, will
reseed itself each year, making permanent feeding
grounds. Therefore, it is many times cheaper than
baiting with grain which must be bought and put in
continually.

WHERE TO PLANT

Ideal places for planting Wild Rice are usually
found in slow running streams, or lakes or ponds
having a stream running out of them. If the lake
or stream has some sheltered bays, coves or a marsh
with some open water, that are not disturbed by
strong currents or waves, these would be the best
places to plant. If planted upstream, parts of the
plants and some of the seed produced will be carried
down-stream each year, and become established in
suitable places all along the waterway.

Near the seacoast Wild Rice will grow along
streams twenty to fifty miles above the places where
they enter the sea, where the water ceases to be
salty to taste and there is a tide of not over four
feet. Of course places along these streams where
fresh water brooks and springs run into the main
stream will usually be found more fresh and better
for growing Wild Rice. Tame rice fields that depend
on tides for their water supply are usually very satis-
factory places for growing Wild Rice, provided one
or more of the gates in the levee banks are left open,
or the banks are broken as the case of many old
abandoned fields, which allow the free change of
water that Wild Rice requires. Many of these old
abandoned tame rice fields can be made excellent
game preserves by planting Wild Rice and other
wild duck foods.

If Ducks Eat It— Terrell Sells It

Given suitable water conditions, good seed, and
barring depredations of cattle and other enemies,
and excessive heavy growth of water weeds. Wild
Rice can be grown on almost any fairly rich soil in
one to three feet of water.

As to climate, our experience has been that while
wild rice has grown and matured in Louisiana and
the north part of Florida, it grows best, generally
speaking, north of a line drawn from Savannah,
Georgia to San Francisco, California. South of this
line we recommend planting some of the other plants
described in this booklet, such as Wild Celery, Sago
Pond Plant, Muskgrass and Bur Reed, which thrive
over the entire United States and Mexico and as far
north as Hudson Bay and Yukon.

PLACES NOT SUITABLE
Wild Rice will not usually grow in bodies of
water having no stream running out of them, waters
salty to taste, or strong with alkali salts (these alkali
salts will be recognized by a white powdery deposit
in puddles or spots along the shores, where the water
has dried up). Places such as are found along parts
of the Mississippi, Ohio, and Lower Illinois Rivers,
where the water rises and stays ten feet or more
above the normal water level for several weeks
during the spring flood periods are usually unsatis-
factory places, because the Wild Rice is drowned
out by the high water. We will be glad to suggest
other duck food plants suitable for such conditions.

GOOD SEED IMPORTANT
In buying planting material, reliability is the
first consideration. Poor seed is a waste of time,
labor and money, no matter how cheap. Wild Rice
seed is of a perishable nature and failures of Wild
Rice in the past have often been due to the buying of
unsuitable seed handled by inexperienced persons.
On one occasion a man who later became a customer
of mine told of buying parched Wild Rice, prepared
for food, of some Indians, to plant, and of course he
got no results, for, of course, it would no more
grow Wild Rice than corn flakes would produce a
crop of corn. Germination tests by both American
and Canadian government authorities show that dry-
ing and certain other conditions lessen its germina-
tion, and there is no doubt that much seed of low or
no germination has been sold. Terrell’s Giant Wild
Rice Seed is selected from a few marshes where the
largest and best grain is produced, and is handled
and shipped according to germination— retaining
methods that we have learned from years of experi-

ence and experimenting. The result is that on
account of its high germination only 50 to 60 pounds
of Terrell’s Giant Wild Rice Seed is required to seed
an acre, instead of 300 or 400 pounds per acre, as
some dealers recommend. Moreover, Terrell’s Giant
Wild Rice Seed produces grain two or three times
the size of ordinary wild rice seed, and therefore
produces more food per acre, which of course at-
tracts and feeds more ducks.

WHEN TO PLANT

Wild Rice can be planted with excellent results
in fall as soon as it is harvested, the natural time it
goes to seed. The harvesting season is short and
the supply limited, so order at once, to avoid being
disappointed. Complete planting instructions which
are sent with every order, simplify planting and in-
sure results.

Have You Ever Eaten Wild Rice?

If you have eaten some properly prepared you can-
not blame the ducks for being so fond of it, and you
too will want some more. It has a delicious, nutty
flavor, unlike that of the ordinary tame rice, and can
be prepared in a variety of ways — as breakfast food,
dressing for fowl or game, vegetable, fancy desserts,
puddings, etc. Wild Rice is unusually nutritious and
people troubled with stomach disorders have found
that they could eat Wild Rice when they were
unable to eat anything else. Hotels that can no
longer serve wild ducks legally, now serve (tame)
“Roast Duck with WILD RICE.”

Send for a supply of Terrell’s Wild Rice Prepared
for Eating, with good recipes, today. It’s good every
day. Something different for game dinners and special
occasions. A pound makes 15 generous servings.

Natural Duck Bait

Contains Wild Rice, Wild
Duck Millet and Smartweed.

If you want a cheap bait
to attract more ducks this fall
and until your plantings get
well started, scatter this bait
in shallow water around the
shores. Replace it as often as
eaten. This bait is superior
to all others as it contains a
large proportion of wild rice
and wild duck millet seed,
the natural foods of wild
ducks. We can make a low
price on this bait because any
duck food seed showing in-
ferior germination which we
never sell for planting, goes
into this bait. Considerable of the Wild Duck Mil-
let and Smartweed will grow. Try at least a hundred
pound sack.

Wild Celery for Diving Ducks

ONLY one way to bring more Canvasbacks, Red-
heads, Bluebills and other diving ducks to your
waters — plant the foods they love and search for.
They will fly hundreds of miles to find the delicious
white roots and shoots produced by Wild Celery.
Wild Celery has long been known as the favorite
food of these ducks, that are not attracted to any
great extent by Wild Rice, which is the favorite food
of Mallards, Black Ducks, Pintails, etc. It makes a
good addition to a field of Wild Rice, if you also
want to attract “Cans” and “Reddies.”

The fishing is improved by planting Wild Celery
as practically all varieties of fish feed either on the
plants or on the abundance of small insect life these
plants support. Wild Celery helps keep the water
pure and clear, and also affords shelter where the
young fish can escape from their enemies. The re-
sult is that in a lake planted with this food and
shelter, many more young fish reach maturity, and
the waters soon become stocked with well fed pan
fish. Wild Celery is endorsed as a fish food by the
U. S. Bureau of Fisheries.

WHERE AND WHEN TO PLANT

Wild Celery can be successfully established in
almost any fresh water lake, pond or stream, prefer-
ably not landlocked — although it does sometimes grow
in very fresh waters that have no outlets. However, as
Wild Celery grows entirely beneath the water
it will thrive in deeper and more open water
than Wild Rice, from 2 to 12 feet deep. Deeper

Sago Pond Plant

If It Grows In The Water We Have It

6

Sago Pond Plant

Thrives in Carp Infested, Fresh,

Alkaline or Brackish Waters.

Sago Pond Plant, (Potamogetan pectinatus)
is considered by government authorities and
others, who have studied the food habits of the
wild water fowl, to be the most important wild
duck food growing in North America. Few
plants furnish such an abundance of wild duck
or fish food for such a long period. Early in
the season, it has clusters of seeds about the
size of wheat, which are eaten by Blue^wing
Teal, Mallards, and other early ducks. Later in
the season, it produces a great abundance of
small tubers from ^4 to % inch in diameter,
which are almost equal to Wild Celery as a
Canvasback food, and are eaten by all kinds of
diving ducks. Also ideal food-producing and
cover plant for fish. Usually succeeds in carp in-
fested waters because carp do not entirely root
up its extensive roots.

WHEN AND WHERE TO PLANT

Sago Pond Plant is almost certain to be a
success wherever planted. It grows either on
a rich soil, or a poor sandy soil. It grows in
alkali or slightly salty water, as well as fresh
water. (Those who have despaired of getting
other duck foods started because of alkali or
brackish water, will likely have success with
Sago Pond Plant.) Sago Pond Plant grows be-
neath the surface of the water, the clusters of
seeds just rising to the top. It will grow best
in from 1% to 5 feet of water. While it will
grow in open water, better results are usually
obtained in places more sheltered from waves.
You can get beds of this important wild duck
food started most economically, by planting the
seed during the late summer and early fall.
About 3 inches of the plant is left connected to
seed to insure ripening. Forty pounds of seed
will plant an acre. Complete planting instruc-
tions, which accompany all orders, help insure
successful plantings.

Floating Brownleaf Pond Plant For Ducks and Fish

Floating Brownleaf Pond Plant (Potamogeton
natans) belongs to the same family of plants as Sago
Pond Plant, ranking second in importance in that
family of plants, as a wild duck food. Mallard and
Black Ducks, in fact all kinds of marsh ducks, are
very fond of feeding upon the seeds of the Floating
Brownleaf Pond Plant. Good fishing is usually found
around beds of this plant.

Floating Brownleaf Pond Plant is a very hardy plant
which grows under a wide range of conditions. It
will thrive in most any fresh waters from 1% to 5 feet
in depth, on a mud, sandy, clay or marl bottom. It
grows in ponds or sluggish streams, also in open
waters but like the Sago Pond Plant produces best re-
sults in sheltered bays or coves. Seeds should be
planted in late summer or early fall. Forty pounds of
seed plants one acre.

Duck Corn — Wampee ( Peltandra virginica)

Good duck food — Produces large quantity of ker-
nels similar to kernels of corn. Grows in swampy,
marshy places, and shallow water. Does well in South.
Plant 10 pounds of seed per acre in fall or spring.

Bur-Reed ( Sparganium eurycarpum)

Grows in the same sort of places as does the Wam-
pee. Also produces abundance of corn-like kernels
eaten by ducks, and makes excellent cover, growing 4
feet high. Does better in North than Wampee. Plant
10 pounds seed per acre in either fall or spring.

Spatterdock — Yellow Water Lily

Seeds eaten by ducks. Roots eaten by Muskrats —
Also ornamental and good fish food and cover pro-
ducer. Sow 15 pounds of seed per acre in fall.

American Lotus Lily ( Nelumbo lutea )

The acorn-like seeds of this plant are eaten by
Mallards and other ducks, but its greatest attraction
is its beautiful, light-yellow flowers, often measuring
eight inches across. Start a bed by planting the seeds
this fall in some sheltered bay or pond in from 1 to
4 feet of water. This is Nature’s sowing season and
the seeds germinate better if allowed to soak in water
over winter. Plant 10 to 15 pounds per acre.

Owners of Muskrat Marshes Frequently Plant Wild Rice,
Bur Reed and Spatterdock for Muskrat Food.

Muskgrass — A Quick Growing
Duck and Fish Coaxer

CHEAP FOOD FOR TAME DUCKS

Muskgrass (Chora) is a good wild duck food
plant which, if planted in late summer or fall,
will produce an extensive growth the following
summer. Mr. McAtee of the U. S. Bureau of
Biological Survey, who has examined the stom-
achs of hundreds of wild ducks, to find out
what foods they like best, finds that Muskgrass
is eaten by Mallards, Black Ducks, Pintails,
Widgeon, Gadwalls, Green-wing and Blue-wing
Teal, Buffleheads, Golden Eyes, Ruddy Duck,
Bluebills, and Redheads. It is a favorite food
with Bluebills and Pintails, and where found,
often makes up a large part of their food. They
feed on the foliage as well as the many little
tubers which it produces. Muskgrass grows
entirely beneath the water, growing to a height
of four inches to one foot above the bottom.
If you raise decoys or tame ducks this will
produce an abundance of cheap food for them.

WHERE AND HOW TO PLANT

Muskgrass is easy to plant, and grows rapidly.
It will grow over very poor sandy soil. It
thrives in marl lakes and alkali or brackish
waters, where many other plants will not grow.
However, the water must contain some lime.
If shells, which require lime, are common in
your waters, or if limestone rocks or ledges
are found in the locality, this would indicate
that there is lime in the waters, which makes
the conditions satisfactory for growing Musk-
grass. Muskgrass reproduces from small red
or black “seeds” or oogonia, about the size of
a pin head which cover the plants in late sum-
mer or fall. In planting, just throw bits of
plants covered with these “seeds” in somewhat
sheltered waters, from one to ten feet in depth.
If planted where the plants might be washed
away, mix them with a little clay before sow-
ing. Plant four or five bushels per acre.

Wild Rice for experimental tests on germination.
I kept the seed in a greenhouse in a tub of water,
containing about eight inches of soil. Practically
every seed germinated in early spring.”

FEED A. MILLER.

MAINE. “I have a good report to make on your
Wild Rice. One planting was made in Merrymeet-
ing Bay, where it came along fine. Another section
was planted on the Cathance River. Both plantings
look very thrifty and successful and very much
taller than the native Wild Rice or Wild Oats.”

W. B. KENDALL.

MONTANA. “By building a dam I made a three
acre lake which I planted with your seed. A rep-
resentative of the U. S. Biological Survey on exam-
ination found that all were growing. The next year
I put in another dam and formed a five acre lake
which I also planted with your seed. Last year I
put in another dam and created another lake of
about four acres which I planted with seed grown
in the first pond. I have formed a duck club of 20
members. I do not have to hunt members, they
hunt me. When one drops out, two or three want
his place. A person is certain of a mess of ducks
every morning in season. In a kill of 38 ducks, 32
were Canvasbacks. In one’s neck I found 19 Sago
Pond Plant tubers which proves to me the value
of your duck plants. Of the different foods I got
of you Sago Pond Plant, Muskgrass, 'Floating
Brownleaf, Widgeon Grass, Wild Celery and Duck
Potato do the best here.”

M. D. CHAT FIELD.

NEW YORK. “Enclosed find check. Use the
change to buy some good cigars as I want to treat
you for the fine Wild Rice you sent me. I was out
on the pond last evening and think from the looks,
every kernel grew. I am better pleased than if a
$100.00 bill was handed to me.”

S. SPAIN.

SOUTH CAROLINA. “I am glad to report that
the order of duck plants you sent me, took root well
and I had a good many more ducks last fall than
before, in the little pond.”

G. D. CANFIELD.

WISCONSIN. “Your Wild Celery I planted is do-
ing very nicely. The Wild Rice also came up well.
I saw about 75 Bluebills the other morning in the
bay, where I planted the Wild Celery pods, which
is more than I ever saw on this lake so early in
the season. I have no doubt but what it is already
an attraction.”

Guarantee, Terms, Shipments, Etc.

Most seedsmen make no guarantee of their seeds.
However we furnish only seed of the highest germ-
ination, and when planted under suitable conditions,
we do not expect that any one will have any cause for
complaint. However, as ponds sometimes go dry,
flood waters wash away plantings, or ducks, muskrats,
carp, deer or cattle may eat them before they have a
chance to grow, we make the following guarantee, to
help our customers, and to protect them against total
loss which might result from any thing of this kind
happening:

If any of our planting materials should fail to
produce what the purchaser considers a satisfactory
growth after giving the planting sufficient time to es-
tablish itself, we GUARANTEE to replace it at half-
price or send an equal value at half-price of other
planting material selected from our current price list.

SHIPMENTS of these seeds except Bur-Reed and
Duck Bait should be made by Express, so they will
reach their destination quickly and in the best condi-
tion for planting. Second Class Rates, which are about
25% lower than first class, are secured on these seeds.
If you have no Express Office we can ship by Parcel
Post if desired. If you wish shipment to be sent by
Parcel Post or Prepaid Express send 10c per pound
to cover transportation charges. (This does not apply
to foreign countries except Canada.)

PRICES quoted are in terms of American money
and do not include payment of transportation charges
unless so stated. Terms: C. 0. D. or 2% discount for
cash with order.

Correspondence regarding what to plant and
what is best for your particular conditions and pur-
pose is always a pleasure. We have had 29 years
practical experience in planting these foods for wild
ducks, fish and game in various parts of the country.
Often we are able to make suggestions which help
materially in getting the best results. Blanks for
your convenience in giving the necessary information
about your place will be sent on request. Write us
any time we can be of help to you with your prob-
lems.

Personal Investigation And Planting Service

While we are always glad to give all help we
can by correspondence free of charge, clubs and
owners of fairly large properties will often find it to
their advantage to have us personally visit and
examine their properties and determine just what is
best suited to their particular purpose and just where
to make plantings, thus insuring the best possible
results, and in many cases saving time, planting mater-
ial, and money.

Services of a capable and experienced man may
also be secured to make plantings. Many people use
this service who want the advantages of better feed-
ing grounds for fish and game, but who have not the
time to do the work themselves, or have no person to
whom they can entrust the work. This service is a
good investment^ for such a man, by his experience
and judicious planting, can often produce better re-
sults with a much smaller amount of planting mater-
ial than an inexperienced person. Those desiring to
take advantage of this are invited to write to us for
estimate of cost of such service.

Will also Furnish

Food and Shelter Plants for Fish, Quail, Grouse,
Pheasants; Muskrat, Fur and Waterfowl Farms;
Plants for Aquariums and Fish Breeders; Plants for
blinds; and many beautiful flowering and ornamental
plants for ponds and damp situations. In addition to
the planting materials described here, which are
available at this particular time, we can supply in
proper season, more than 35 different kinds of plants
for making places attractive to birds, game and fish,
so we have something suitable for almost any condi-
tion or purpose in this line. Write for complete
price list and information.

LIVE DECOYS

We have gone out of the business of supplying live
decoys but recommend Robt. Doemel, 561 Evans St.,
Oshkosh, Wis., and also Wallace Evans Game Farm,
St. Charles, 111., who raise and supply both Mallards
and English Call Ducks. These people have fine
stock, are perfectly reliable and I would not hesitate
to buy live decoys of them for my own use.
