NO STATE MORE ADAPTED
TO DAIRYING THAN THIS
Virginia However, is Doing Barely 100000 Year Business
While One Western State Does $90.0On0OO- Dairy
Barn Pointers By Professor Holdawav.

| Blacksburg, Va, Oct 1s.--There Is
one Western State which does a dairy
! business OF sao,oo0,00o per annum:
| Virginia does a s3.0oo.o 900 dairy bust
ness each year. and there Is no State
more adapted to this industry than
ours In this business a most i'm
portant feature Is the barn, and Pro-
! fessor C. W. Holloway. assistant IN
dairy hushaniry at the Virginia Poly
ftechnic Institute gives here some
valuable points about It's care: Pro-
fessor Holloway says:
Fortunately for dairymen In vir-
ginta the dairy industry is develop
ing along more sanitary lines than Is
! the case in many States.
! The cream and milk business as
started by the Virginia Polytechnic
Institute creamery twenty years ago
has spread to all sections OF the State
and has necessitated the use of sant-
tary methods by dairymen, who ship
milk and cream to cities City regu-
lations also have aided In raising the
sanitary standard of dairy products.
Today the city demand for milk and
cream Is fairly well supplied. and the
production of butter and cheese in the
State Is increasing.
The dairyman who ships to the city
has to have good barns that are built
along definite lines. but the dairyman
who patronizes a creamery Is not
usually compelled to meet these re-
quirements. so he builds to suit his
own tastes or the custom in his sec
ton. when n sanitary huiling could
have been erected for the same cost.
Contrary to the general opinion the
points that make a barn sanitary do
not necessarily make it expensive. for
they deal principally with location
and methods OF construction OF two
barns built Of the same materials and
costing the same, one might be so
located and constructed that it falls to
meet the requirements in any way,
while the other might conform to
them in all respects. The fundamental
points Of barn building from a sani-
ltary standpoint are: location. kind 81

RECENT INNOVATIONS IN
TRUST COMPANY SERVICE
How These Institutions by Introduction of Valuable New
Features Keep Abreast Wit Modern Requirements
of Corporations and Individuals

1t is freely admitted by the most
eminent economists and men Of large
affairs that the trust company. as an
organization, has adapted itself more
readily to the various requirements
of modern business and finance than
any other type of banking or fiscal
institution in the country. II is large
ly because of this pliancv. and be-
cause Of the high character of SER
vices rfey render to corporations and
individuals. that the aggregate amount
OF wealth In the safekeeptns of trust
companies in the United States
amounts to over thirty-five billion dol
lars. or one-fourth the combined
wealth of the nation. For the so
called modern trust compa n.y. is Pc
culiarly an American creation. and
its practical principles nave been
copied in nearly every civilized nation
in the world, including Japan. South
Africa. Germany. England, Australia.
Canad and many other countries.
Within recent years new departments
of service and responsible duties have
been added to trust company manage
ment which emphasizes their mod
ern character. Practically every large
corporation, including railway. public
service, manufacturing industrial and
commercial units. finds it necessary
to enlist the trust company In some
trust capacity
Among the recent new features of
trust company services may be en-
umerated the following: esta blishment
OF special facilities to carry out the
provisions Of the United States SUI
preme Court in regard to dissolution
OF so-called trusts" which come in
conflict with the Sherman anti
trust law: special departments for
the certification and protection of
municipal and public service securi-
ties: departments which undertake
the registration Of commercial paper
obligations issued by corporations;
receivership departments which carry
out court instructions regarding the
liquidation OF insolvent concerns or

to trust company management, but
,s4ose enumerated above afford some
idea as to the practical manner in
which such corporations meet all the
latent requirements growing out OF
business and financial development in
communities large and small.
II is interesting to describe in great
err detail the most recent inventions
in trust company service. For ex-
ample. when the United States Su-
preme Court handed down q decision
that a great corporation was operat-
ing in violation CT the Sherman anti
trust law. and ordered that trust"
dissolved. the question came up as to
how the interests of the various
classes of stock and bondholders could
be protected; how the property could
he equitably distributed, and the de-
cree of the court carried into effect
without working Injury to rightful
owners.
The management of the trust it
self did not think il feasible To as
sumo this responsibility and work 1t
was thought better to have some res
ponsible agency. acting as a third
party, carry out the decree of the
court.
