Excerpt from The Increase of the Food Supply for Ducks in Northern Ontario: With Description of Edible Plants As mentioned above I visited Whitewater Lake, near Sudbury, in the latter part of September, 1912, to study the plant food which the Northern lakes afford for ducks and collect specimens for illustration.
