EOT KC YOU SHOULD
OAAAo KNOW
IN
SheridanC County

EDGAR T.. BELANSKI, Sheridan
county farmer, rancher and public Of
fetal, found his first Montana home
at Plentywood in April, 1909. During
his twenty-seven years, his time and
abilities have been taxed by many Of
fetal responsibilities, including the du-
ties of United States Commissioner.
Edgar E. Belanski attended public
schools at Nora Springs, Iowa, took &
seminary course at Cedar Falls, and
clelkcd in a store at Nora Springs.
He then went west, engaging in the
painting trade, and settled at Pomona
Calf.
Mr.. Belanski, unlike most Montana
settlers, came here from the west ra-
Their than from the east.
Arriving in Plentywood with his
family in the spring of 1909, the veter-
an Sheridan county mar resumed his
trade as a house painter and followed
it for years. His chief interests, how
ever at that time, were in a ranch he
purchased On the Big Muddy just
southwest of Plentywood.
Mr.. Belanski was appointed United
States Commissioners in 1916. Besides
representing the federal government
in that capacity he is also justice OF
the peace and probation officer. He
has served as police magistrate, city
clerk and public administrator.
Hale and hearty at "a years, Belansk
is found each working day at his Of
flee at the Sheridan county cour-
house.
An ardent sportsman, hunting anC
fishing are his hobbies. He vies to fav-
orite fishing haunts in Montana anC
Canada and spends pleasant days. AS
crafty angler, fishing pardners' say
that ED" Belanski is no amateur a
the sport,
At Nora Springs in November, 1893
Mr.. Belanski married Eta May Dean
She was born in Michigan, the eldes'
Of four children.
Mr.. and Mrs. Belanski have a com

Final Date to Complete
Work Sheets Is June 6

The closing date for filing out work
sheets in Sheridan county for the new
soil conservation program has been
set for June 6, it was announced today.
All farmers are urged to have their
work sheets filled out by that time.
This does not bind you in any way to
make compliance with the program,
but does give you an opportunity to
make application for a grant, if later
you feel you can comply" r. G. Ty-
Ter. conservation board head said.
''The work sheets are being mailed
out to all farmers who were unable to
get in to the community sign up. In
Section 6 of the work sheet give what
you believe to be the correct average
production Of all major crops raised
on your farm for the 10-yr. period
from 1923 to 1888. Sign the three cop
les at the places marked for signature
and return or mail to the allotment
office at Plentywood," Mr.. Tyler said.

HOT WEATHER is
GENERAL HE RE

Sheridan county farmers today
scanned cloudless skies with the hope
that rain will come to give succulent
moisture to fields which for the past
week have felt the sting of hot wealth
or.
Although it is believed that tender
young shoots have not as yet been in
jured by lack of moisture, a rain
would, however, alleviate anxiety and
insure against a stunted ~growth-the
experience in Sheridan county for five
years due to drouth.
Reports from over the county are
that ample sub-moisture is available.
Grain, which grew fast this year,
looks good in all parts of the county.
Farmers contend that at present the
stand is the best in years.
High winds of ten days ago did some
damage, although such cases were
rare.
A good soaking rain within the next
week would raise high the spirits Of
Sheridan county farmers.
