CIDER AND THE LAW
Juice May BE Extracted from Apples
Under Certain Restrictions

In order to keep innocent persons
from violating the federal prohibition
act, the federal prohibition director is
scattering broadcast information rela
tive to the manufacture and sale of
older. As this Is the season that the
cider mills begin to operate, the mill
owners are asked especially to take
heed of the regulations for the opera
ton Of cider mills. These regulations
are very specific In character and the
violation OF them means heavy pen
atty or imprisonment to the offenders.
All persons operating custom mills
in tho manufacture of cider must OBJ
tain a permit and file a bond with the
federal prohibition director. Applioa-
ton for the permit may be made at the
local office In the federal building.
The bond required Is $1,000 surety
bond.
Cider may be manufactured for use
in the home without a permit In do
Ing this the apples may be taken to a
custom mill and the cider then taken
home. As the mill owner in this case
Is obliged by law to have permit all
the requirements of the law have been
met.
Mil owners should take notice of
these regulations and make the appli-
cations for the necessary permit inn
modiately, as Uncle Sam is not very
lcnient in dealing with offenders
against the federal prohibition act. The
manufacturing Of cider is thus allowed,
under restriction of course. but the
farmer may make his sweet cider for
the fall use and have his key of vine
gar later on. just as In the days of long
ago.
