In order to be entitled to the said bounty, the producer of the sugar 

 must have first filed, prior to 1st July of each year, with the Commissioner 

 of Internal Revenue, a notice of the place of production, with a general 

 description of the machinery and methods to be employed by him, together 

 with an estimate of the amount of sugar proposed to be produced in the 

 current or next ensuing year, including the number of maple trees to be 

 tapped, and an application for a license to so produce, to be accompanied 

 by a bond in a penalty, and with sureties to be approved by the Commis-

 rules and regulations that shall be prescribed for such manufacture and 

 production of sugar. 



Upon receipt of the aforesaid application and bond the Commissioner of

 or from maple sap produced within the United States. The Commissioner 

 of Internal Revenue, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, 

 shall from time to time make all needful rules and regulations for the 

 manufacture of said sugar, and, under the direction of the Secretary of the
