WHY THE MILITARY TRACT"
IS KNOWN BY THAT NAME

Frequently the question is asked
why a certain section OF the state of
Illinois is termed The Military Tract
and what it constitutes. The bounda-
ries of the Military Tract, the counties
it contains and the manner in which
the district acquired its name are
given in the following article in the
Monmouth Republican-Atlas:
The lands constituting the section
to which the title military tract is
applied, was given as bounty to the
soldiers of the war Of 1912 and extend
ed on the fourth principal meridian
from the mouth of the Illinois river
leo miles north, Il tract comprising the
peninsula between the Illinois and the
Mississippi rivers. Within its limits
in 1929 were created the counties of
Adams, Calhoun. Hancock, Schuyler.
Knox, Warren, Peoria. Mercer, Henry
and Putnam; Pike and Fulton counties
lying in the same tract had already
been organized. the former in 1921
and the latter in 1926, while Nc
DOnough followed in 1926.
But few of the veterans ever set
tied on their allotments. The great

of land could be procured for almost
nothing. The territory was then little
known and few realized its wonder

the soldiers of the war of 1912 lived
in the south and east and placed but
little value on the land the govern
ment had given them.
Most of the land in the nineteen
counties composing the tract was
bought afterwards from the soldiers
their wives and heirs, by spectators
who generally paid but few cents
an acre for it. 1t was afterwards sold

Shenandoah. Iowa. Corn Husker Has the
Best Press Agent.
For the past two months the cham
pion corn husker has had his inning.
From every hamlet has come tales
of men tearing off the stalks from
100 bushels up of the Indian cereal
In most instances. ii might be added,
there was some handicap Iabored
under that prevented the amount be-
ing larger. For a good clean piece Of
fiction a story that comes from Shen-
andoah. Iowa, has the biscuit. 1t is
given below:
Charles Rennack fully established
his right to the title of champion corn
husker of the world by husking POI
bushels and 16 pounds of corn in 10
hours, ending in the evening at $50
o'clock. Rennack drove into the field
at o'clock promptly and began his
unparalleled feat. At II o'clock he
had husked 9S bushels. five small loads
having been driven in. At 1890 the
biggest half of the days work was be-
gun and the judges. spectators and
others began to grow nervous. but the
young man only let out another cog,
and the corn flew faster. At one time
during the afternoon for several min
utes the average rate of speed at
which corn was thrown toward the
wagon box was 81 ears Il minute. The
last ear was tossed into the wagon
at $50 p. m. and then the weighing
was finished.
Seventy pounds to the bushel was
allowed and the corn weighed out
POI bushels and 16 pounds. Mr.. Rem
mack is "a years of age and weighs
about 40 pounds. This fall during
the husking season he averaged 125
bushels a day for Is days. At the
close of the latest attempt the young
man was reeking with Precipitation, in
spite Of the fact that he was clad
only in overalls and shirt. and that it
was cold and with light snow. The
corn husked was of a big yellow va
riety.
