TOBACCO GRADING STICKS Weed Products Taxed Heavily Most Of Consumers Money Goes Into Hands Of State And Federal Goxernment Tobacco has always been a favorite object of taxation due to its accepted status as a lux ury rather than a necessity. The federal grovernment levies taxes on all tobacco products and re ceives a large revenue from this source. ? These taxes are paid by the manufacturer of tobacco products, but the growers are indirectly af fected. Tobacco growers have al ways had a vital interest in tax ation of manufacturers because ex cessive taxation greatly reduces the use of tobacco and directly restriots the market for leaf to bacco. Taxes levied by foreign coun tries on imported tobacco great ly affects our foreign market. In many cases tobacco users in other countries have been forced to use tobacco produced in their own country by high import taxes. State taxes on tobacco products vary greatly. For example in cig arettes, the rates range from 2 cents to 10 cents per package. Shown above are the incoming- and outgoing officers for Colum i bus County Home Demonstration Council.

Master Stroke An eminent clergyman visit ing Port Huron was golfing on a local course, and for his caddy had a lad full of spice and ginger. At the first tee, the reverend gentleman asked the caddy how far it was to the first hole, and the caddy replied: "Three hun dred and fifty yards, parson." "Oh," remarked the clergyman, "just a drive and a putt." He teed up his ball, took his stance, and then, waggling his club a bit, he finally drove the pill about twenty yards down the course. The caddy hitched up his trou sers and peered out over the fair way. "Reverend," he finally remark ed, "that's' gonna be one helluva putt." Zero bounds And there was a husband whose wife telegraphed from a summer resort: "In four weeks I have re duced my' weight by half. How long shall I stay?" And he wired back: "Another four weeks." FAO OUTPUT UP Output of cigarettes from July, 1948, through June, 1949, is ex pected to total between 380 and 385 billion, compared with 379 Vt billion in 1947-48.
