SCRIBNER GREW SOME
SPL END DID CORN
Tasker Farmer Has Ears of North
western Dent and N. d. White Flint
Ten Inches Long.

Charles Scribner of Tasker has been
awarded the blue ribbon for the largest
ears of corn brot to the Independent
office this season. Several ears are to
be seen at this office, the longest be-
ing ten inches in length, perfectly
formed, filled out to the tip and Of
large size around. Mr.. Scribner grew
the. Northwestern Dent and the North
Dakota White Flint varieties, securing
q large amount Of good mature seed.
The corn furnishes a vast amount of
the very best kind of feed. The farm
er who has twenty or thirty acres of
corn this year is not losing any sleep
over light wheat crop. Land that
will produce corn like Mr.. Scribner
grew this year ought to be worth at
least a hundred dollars an acre. When
every farmer grows say forty acres of
corn each year, fills silo or two and
feeds the ensilage to mich cows, our
North Dakota land will increase in
value as rapidly as the Minnesota and
South Dakota land.

5000 MEN IN UNITED
 STATES TANK CORPS

The fleet of army tanks now touring the Twelfth Federal Reserve Bank district in behalf of the Victory Liberty Loan are not only performing a patriotic service but are demonstrating to the people the progress this Nation has made in what is to be new and permanent factor in it's defensive system.
 The organization of the tank corps of the United States Army was begun in March 1918. Up to the time this Ma ton entered the war slight, if any, effort had been made to develope the use of tanks as a medium of offensive warfare.
 With the advent of this coun- try into the conflict, however, the formation, organization and training of an adequate tank corps progressed rapidly. The battalions that were orgau- ized and sufficiently trained in time to get into action rendered highly effective and efficient service at the front. The use of American tanks, manned by American drivers and gunners and cooperating with Ameri- ca troops, was to have been one of the features of the big spring drive planned for the American forces had the war still been in progress.
 The tank corps is a distinc- tive, specialized service calling for both skilled and unskilled men. The pay and allowances are liberal and attractive. The present authorized strength of the tank corps is 300 officers and 5000 enlisted men. In the latter force there will be 123 sergeants first class, 1,O79 ser geants and 971 corporals, an exceptionally high percentage of non-commissioned officers.
 The tank corps is stationed at Camp Meade, Maryland, ap- proximately twenty-five miles north of Washington and twen- ty miles south of Baltimore.
