Johnson, who has but one de feat against his record in the local grapple palace, figures himself a good choice to absorb the typical Belcastro beating and come out best man. At any rate, it will be battle of surf board holds since both pachy derms rely on this speciality to gain victory. To the winner goes match with the head-butting Gray Mask, who has assured Lillard he will be on hand for the tug and haul program next week. Neither Belcastro nor Johnson has yet faced the masked terror In Medford and both feel the new main event system of rounds Instead of straight time will give them an excellent chance to subdue the mystery man. , The seml-windup will closely rival the top matcn lor excite ment when Jack Riser, coast light-heavy king, tangles with Terrible Tony Ross over the four-round route. Wrestling tac tics of these two gladiators are as opposite as day and night and Just about anything can happen in a bout of this kind. ' Local mat bugs will have an opportunity to view new per sonage in the opener when Lou Bellaveau makes his Initial nnrthuwst nnnearance aaatnst Milt Olson.

Grants Pass comes to Medford Saturday night in a game which will also be a con ference tilt. The Saturday night Caveman-Tornado clash will be gin at 8:30 with a 7:18 prelim inary between the two schools. Grants Pass is stinging under the humiliating defeat handed them by Central Point of the class "B" circuit Tuesday night and will be all out to wipe it off their slate. Against com parable opponents, Medford holds a decided edge over the Cavemen for Al Simpson's Tor nado walloped Central Point In a practice tilt and beat Eureka 39 to 26 the night after the Loggers had trounced Grants Pass 40-30. ' Simpson said Jerry Ross will be moved back to his forward position and Bob Watson will be shifted back to guard. Glenn Bostwick, who held a starting berth last week, will probably be lost for the Grants Pass series because of a cold. The shift in the lineup will bring back the same five which be gan the season as starters with Larry Hayes and Ross at for wards, Darrell Rlggs at center and Watson and Dick Fawcett at guards. Ashland, who lost to Medford In the only league game to date, swamped Yreka 48 to 29 Tues day night for their second win of the season and will be at full strength for the Pelicans. SNEAD GUNS FOR FIRST VICTORY IN Br Joseph Banks United Press Correspondent Phoenix, Ariz., Jan. 11 (U.R) Slammln1 Sammy Snead set his sights today on an honor he never has been able to attain victory in the $7,800 Phoenix Open, which starts tomorrow. The White Sulphur Springs, Vs., professional finished in the money on previous - occasions here, but was never quit able to cop the crown. In practice rounds he showed signs of re taining the sharp edge that gave him top honors in last week end's Los Angeles Open, finish ing the warmup in 66, two off the record on the 71-par course. snead, who has won three of five tournaments in which he has participated since his dis charge after a two-year hitch In the navy, is out to increase his string. He already has pock eted the top purses In the Port land, Ore., Richmond, Calif., and Los Angeles Opens. But he Is not up against duf fers. Harold (Jug) McSpaden, of Sanford, Me., and Byron Nelson. Toledo, O., golfdom's "gold dust twins," are out to avenge the one-stroke margin by which Snead beat them at Los Angeles. Nelson also is anxious to hang onto the Phoenix crown, which ha won last year in a playoff with McSpaden.

JACKSON COUNTY FARM NOTES Compiled by County Office AAA Practices- Report Deadline Oregon farmers who have not already reported their perform ance of soil building practices for AAA payment during 1944 are reminded that Feb. 15, 1948, Is the last day on which such reports can be made to the county AAA office. The 1944 program closed on December 31, 1944. However, ' growers who harvested eligible legumes and grass seed may qualify for the poundage payment offered under the program if the seed Is threshed and either sold to a dealer or cleaned and tested before February 13. Farmers Advised On Alfalfa Seed Farmers are cautioned by the Seed Production Programs com mittee of the USDA that large Importations of unadapted Ar gentine alfalfa seed are moving into this country and being dis tributed in the north as well as other sections where its use may lead to failure or lower production. This situation appears to re sult from the shortage of domes tic alfalfa seed and the wide differential in price between Argentine and domestic seed. U. S. supplies of alfalfa seed due to the lowest average yield on record are 3 below 1943's low supplies and 18 below the 1038-42 average; The seed cohimittee suggested that the short supply situation could be relieved somewhat If less seed were retained on the farm by growers for sowing after 1948. Experimental results Indicate that when planted in the U. S. north of the 38th degree of lat itude (in 'California, the 40th degree, about Sacramento), Ar gentine alfalfa may disastrously winter-kill, depending upon the severity of the winter. Winter killing may occur south of these latitudes, and hay yields from 8 to 20 less than locally adapted varieties may be ex pected. Furthermore, Argen tine alfalfa Is very susceptible to the serious "bacterial-wilt" disease and consequently the Federal Seed Act requires that all importations of this seed be stained orange-red. Importa tion and distribution of Argen tine alfalfa seed In the U. S. was restricted to south of the 38th degree of latitude during the past year. The removal of these restrictions on November 13, 1944, the seed committee advises, did not mean that large quantities of Argentine seed are needed or any change In the recommendations regarding its lack of edaptation. Farm Slaughtered Meat Rationed The sale of farm slaught ered meat Is subject to the pro visions of wartime rationing which effect meat obtained from any other legitimate source. However, farm famllle. uhn raise animals for their own use are not required to give up Dolnts for meat from ths.A nl. mals If home or custom slaugh tered, f arm families may also borrow and lend meat io ih other without exchanging points. But when rationed cuts of home or custom meat are sold or given away, red points must be collected by the farmer and turned Into the local OPA board. All farmers who sell rationed meat may get from their local OPA board tha row nfrirlnl . ble of point values. The smaller cuts are listed on the consumer table. Large cuts or carcasses MONEY TO LOAN!

Families buying meat from a farmer may use as many as 18 red stamps from each book in advance of the general val idation dates. This gives the consumer 180 extra points per book for buying farm meat in large quantities to store for fu ture use. R. G.
