MIR. E. j. Willingham, of Macon, fa-

crop has suffered no damage as a re-
suit of the recent cold snap, and THAI
If weather is favorable for the next

out of danger. Mr.. Willingham says
that although the development of the
peach industry in Georgia has not been
increased to very great extent with
in the past several years, yet a great
many trees have been set out this
winter on account of the low prices of
cotton prevailing last year causing an
Increase among the farmers of the
state in diversified farming. Mr.. Will
ingham owns about 10000 peach trees
and he and other large growers
throughout this section are expecting
very successful season, if the crop
is not seriously damaged by the cold
weather. According to Mr.. Willing
ham, the prospects are fine for a big
peach crop this season, and even if /
bumper crop of peaches is harvested IN
the state this year it is expected that
the growers will receive satisfactory
prices for the same, as they are better
organized than since the first develop
ment of the peach industry in Geor-
gia.

TRIAL OF HOPPER FEEDING
Test at West Virginia Station Shows
Egg Production at Lower Cost
/. Than Other System.

In bulletin 1870 Of the West Virginia
station a report is given of a trial OF
the hopper-feeding system for poul.
try, which was installed in order to
save labor. In a years test, with five
pens of white Leghorns, the cost Of
food varied from IS cents to $1.04 per
fowl per year, and averaged 80 cents
per fowl for the 100 fowls in the ex'
pertinent.
The egg production varied from
S1.4 eggs per hen, when fed principally
upon corn, to 24.7 in the pen which
received whole grain once per day.
scattered in litter, and dry mash and
beef scrap without limit in a hopper.
4 The food cost of the eggs during year
varied from S.5 cents to 11.9 cents per
dozen. Two pens, hopper fed, pro-
8duced eggs having a lower food cost
than the pen which received moist
zened mash, and in this test there was
apparently no benefit from the extra
labor involved in moistening the mash.

can. an exceptional stellar event near B. C. 6
with which it may be identified.
Johann Kepler. in his peculiar genius (for he
showed that the births of Enoch. Moses, Cyrus.
Caesars Charlemagne, and Luther were preceded
by important astrological events), led the way in
calling attention to the astronomical phenomena
that preceded the birth of Christ. He pointed
out that there must have been a conjunction OF
the planets Jupiter and Saturn at about the
time of Christ's birth. and even made a few pre-
liminary calculations TO prove his case. The con-
junction occurred in the sign Pisces, from time
immemorial identified with the destinies oil
Israel. A conjunction in that sign always signi-
fed the rising of some mighty master OF the
Jewish race. Such & conjunction Of Jupiter and
Saturn occurs once in about 500 years. 1t was.
therefore, sufficiently extraordinary in Keplers
eyes to herald the birth of a Messiah.
Not until 1926 was Kepler's suggestion seri-
ously considered by astronomers. In that year
Professor Ideler, of Berlin. computed the posi-
tons Of Jupiter and Saturn and proved that they
were actually in conjunction in 7 B. C. His cal
culations showed that they at no time over
Tapped TO form a single star. but that they were
separated by a distance equal to the apparent
diameter of the -Aoon. Accordingly, Ideler had

II must be stated that he abandoned his th>ory
when Encke. In 1881, repeated the calculations
and found that the actual distance between Jupi-
ter and Saturn. when nearest each other In B. c.
Z, was more than the apparent diameter of the
moon.
Apart from the fact that Jupiter and Saturn
were never sufficiently near each other to be
seen as one body. two planets in conjunction
can hardly be called a star. Nor is 1t likely that
experienced Chaldean astrologers would SO re-
gard It. Moreover. there we're other planetary
conjunctions at about the same time. Professor

to be born they answered: In Bethlehem Oh

thou. Bethlehem, in the land Of Juda. art not the
least among the princes of Juda; for out OF thee
shall come a governor, that shall rule my people

inquired of them diligently what time the star
appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, ano
said, Go and search diligently for the young
child; and when we have found him, bring me
