The report upheld the continuance of the national board of review as reg ulatory body.
 "LegaliZed censorship of the film is a dangerous departure in a free country the report stated. Tt is no less dangerous than a censorship of the press or the stage, for it places a ban on ideas.

SUPPLY OF GRAIN FOR HENS
Fowls Will Consume More Food in
d. Spring Than in FaII-AHount
Varies With Breeds.

The feeder must use his own judg-
ment in deciding how much grain to
give the hens, as the amount of feed
which they will eat varies with diff
ferent pens and at different seasons
of the year They will eat more feed
in the spring while laying heavily
than the summer and fail when laying
fewer eggs.
fair general estimate is about one
quart Of scratch grains and an equal
weight OF mash (nbout one and a half
quarts) daily to 13 hens of the gen.
eral purpose breeds, such as the Ply
mouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, or
Wyandottes, or to 16 hens of the small
er or egg breeds. This would be about
seven and q half pounds each Of
scratch grains and of mash daily to
100 LeghOrns and about nine and a
half pounds of each to 100 general
purpose fowls. If hens have free
range or large yards containing green
feed a general purpose hen will eat
about IS pounds Of feed in q year and
a Leghorn Will eat about 50 pounds, in
addition TO the green stuff consumed,
It has been found in experiments con-
Quoted on the government poultry

MAINTENANCE OF DIRT ROAD
Essential That No Water Sc Permitted
TO Remain on Surfaee-RepzIF
Ruts Quickly.

To maintain an earth road so that
1t will adequately take care Of heavy
traffic # is essential first that no wa
ter be allowed to stand on the road
surface or in the bitches, and second
" that defects occurring In the sur
face be repaired Immediately and in
a manner that will form a crust suffi-
cient to maintain the loads and resist
the wear caused by traffic
The first can be accomplished only
by grading and draining the road in
manner that will permit water TO drain
quickly from the surface after every
rain. and the second by adding clay
and sand in the proper proportions as
required. shaping up the surface with
a light grader, and keeping the trav-
eled surface smooth and even with the
road planer, after which the earth sur
face eventually becomes smooth and
impervious to water. The result is an
extremely satisfactory road at q very
low cost to the public.
