It is believed this is the oldest building in the United States used continuously for Masonic work. There was a Masonic building erected by Benjamin Franklin on Chestnut Street in Philadelphia before 1769, but it was torn down in 1801. In the yard of the Royal White Hart Lodge building is a large bell suspended from a beam and be neath this Colonel Montfort is buried. Besides being first Master appointed, in 1771, to be Provincial Grand Mas ter of America and held that post until 1776, when the Provincial Grand Lodge expired. This North Carolina lodge treasures! A Masonic Te.rple used contin uously and solely for Masonic pur poses since it was erected in 1769 stands in Halifax, N. C, and houses the venerable Royal White Hart Lod ge No. 2 which was chartered August 21. 1767, by the Grand Lodge of England. Old minutes indicate that the first recorded meeting of Masons at Halifax was in 1764 at the home of Andrew Troughton, but in 1769 the need for a hall was felt, and Col. Joseph Montfort, who was the many objects of historic and Masonic interest, and it has had a part in events nw hallowed by the years. When news of the death of Brother George Washington was received, December 27, 1799, the lodge went into morning for the day and, on the following anniversary of the first President's birth, the members at tended divine service at a church. In 1825 three members acted with the town committee to welcome General LaFayette at the river. In April, 1840, "all ardent spirits" were ban ned from the hall, but in November "banning of ardent spirits" was re scinded and refreshments were order ed for the lodge. In 1860 the lodge was asked to contribute in the pur chase of Mount Vernon. toritic practice under presnet con ditions, says Dr. J. E. Foster, in charge of beef cattle research for the Ex periment Station at State College. He points out that gains during the latter part of such a feeding period are slow and expensive and that most of the fat so produced is not consumed by humans. "To produce more meat is not enough. The aim should be to produce more meat more efficiently and from less foods that are suitable for human consumption," says Dr. Foster.

O Q: How can I save on feeding baby chicks? A:Use all the green feed possible to save on mash and grain, suggests C. F. Parrish, Extension poultry specialist at State College. Careful feeding practices can save you 10 pounds of feed per bag. Feed plenty of good mash. A supply of grit helps to save feed. Providing a supply of fresh water is an essential practice. When a chick gets sick, separate it from the flock at once and find out what i3 wrong from a reliable source. Start proper control measures and be sure to follow through on the program. Q: What is the best control for earworms in garden corn? A: The best direct control is the use of a white oil such as is used for medicinal purposes, says Dr. B. B Fulton, associate in enthomology at the Experiment Station at State College. The oil is poured on or in jected into the bundle of silks at the tip of the husk, just after the silks wilt and start to turn brown at the tips. The best dosage is one fifth of a teaspoonful. About 24 drops is the right amount and a little practice will enable an operator to guess at the amount to be used. FIDAL ill 11 llikj Fob?
