Washington Caqers Defeat (5reg6n48-45
RUGGED BATTLE
IS PROSPECT ON
A ferocious battle looms to
night when Pete Belcastro
clashes with Gloomy Gust John
son In the headline match of
Promoter Mack Llllard's weekly
mat struggle In Medford armory.
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. '

opportunity to view new per

LEAGUE QUINTETS
WILL SEE ACTION
All basketball teams of the
southern Oregon conference
awing Into action tomorrow
night when Medford's Black
Tornado, leading the league,
moves to Grants Pass and
Klamath Falls invades Ashland
for a Friday and Saturday night
series. 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.

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

such as a quarter of beef, a

are listed on the trade point
value table. Both tables are

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

AT LOS A: HOWIE
Word was received today of
the sudden death at her home in
Los Angeles last night of Mrs.
Ben Sheldon, former . well
known resident of this city. The
cause of death was a cerebral
hemorrhage. For several years
Mrs. Sheldon had not been well
and about two years ago suf
fered a slight stroke, but at no
time had her condition been con
sidered serious and her death
therefore came as a complete
shock to her family and many
friends.
Mrs. Sheldon, nee Edith But-
terfleld, was born in Chicago,
111., in 1888 and made her home
there until she married Ben
Sheldon, Medford rancher, real
estate man and former member
of the state legislature. They
made their home on Kings high
way here during world war I
remaining until the early 1930s
when the family moved to Los
Angeles where Mr. Sheldon en
tered the real estate business, In
which he is at present engaged.
In addition to her husband
Mrs. Sheldon leaves one son,
David, an aviator recently re
turned from active service
abroad, and a daughter, Bar
bara, Mrs. Robert Clyde, whose
husband is in the U. s. navy.
Both children were In Los An
