The Scranton Trust Company, of
that city, places before the public
an exceedingly gartifying report for
the year just closed. During this
period of time ending May 3, 1912,
this company has registered 81, $50
certificates representing 990,636
shares, with satisfaction and safety
to Is corporations. It's trust fund
amounts to $1,342,541.51, while
trusts under mortgages executed by
corporations is represented in $29,-
104, 300. Its surplus and profits are
S144, ,415.S3. Among the directors
of the Scranton Trust Co. we'll known
here are A. T. Searle, c. H. Dor
finger and F. C. White, the latter of
Hawley.
The Scranton Trust Company
confines itself to a trust business ex-
clusively acting as administrator,
executor, co-eXecutor, guardian,
committee, receiver, fiscal agent and
in all trust capacities. 1t also acts
as transfer agent and as registrar
of stock and bond issues. This COM
pany has the best equipment that
money and brains can furnish. Its
services are more efficient and more
economical than those of any re-
sponsible individual.
The Board of Directors is compos-
ed of the most successful and most
respected citizens in this section OF
Pennsylvania. Its executive com
mittee of seven meets each week
taking up in detail all questions rel
ative to our various trusts, etc.
The steady and rapid growth oil
this company proves it's right to an
existence, and shows that it i:
greatly appreciated by people of al
classes.

Dynamitinu the Soil.

AS an evidence of what dynamite
will do for the soil, a writer in the
Manufacturers Record submits to
the readers of that publication the
sworn statement of a cotton-grower
of Bessemer, Ala, J. II. Johnson, by
name, who reports that he has been
raising cotton for many years and
that the greatest yield he ever Sc
cured was one bale to the acre until
he began experimenting with dyna-
mite. Last Summer he subsoiled
one acre with dynamite, and though
bad storm reduced the yield be-
low what it would otherwise have
been, he raised 1857 pounds of
lint cotton on one acre. He further
states that last year he raised four
and one-half bales to the acre on an
other tract dynamited in the same
way and expresses his opinion that
dynamited land properly fertilized
and cultivated, in a good crop year,
would yield five bales to the acre.
The claim is also made that the
dynamiting of land in this way not
only solves the drouth problem by
loosening the soil to such an extent
that the roots of the plant can seek
nourishment to much greater depth
than under any method of plowing,
but that this system will destroy
the insects within the radius of the
explosion and thus possibly open a
way to exterminate the boil weevil
as well as other destructive pests.
