bacco crop has been harvested inquiries
are received concerning the right of the
farmer to manufacture cigars for home
use or TO sell the tobacco to a person 9th

facturer. For the information Of all
such persons an explanation of the

tobacco has right to sell leaf tobacco

cured on the farm. The manufacture
OF cigars in small way by any per.
son for his own use and consumption
is permissible when the cigars are
manufactured solely for the use of the
person making them and are not re-
moved from the place of manufacture
for consumption or sale. No taxes are
required, nor is the person so manu-.
featuring required to qualify as
manufacturer or make any reports.

planting is seldom the best. The best
crop Of corn l noticed last year was
made after the clover was entirely dead
