                                       - 12 -                                         

             v. USDA, supra.  The marketing of tobacco in excess of a                 
             producer's allotment, so-called excess-quota tobacco, is                 
             subject to a penalty.  See id.                                           
                  In the notices of deficiency issued to petitioners,                 
             respondent made two principal adjustments to Beaufort                    
             Leaf's returns for 1990 and 1991.  First, respondent                     
             increased the gross sales reported by the partnership.                   
             The explanation of that adjustment in the subject notices                
             of deficiency is as follows:                                             

                       It is determined that the partnership had                      
                  additional income from tobacco sales for tax                        
                  years 1990 and 1991 that was not reported on                        
                  the returns.  It has been determined that                           
                  tobacco sales totaled $2,153,228.00 in 1990                         
                  and $3,904,027.00 in 1991 instead of the amounts                    
                  of $1,264,700.00 and $2,849,451.00 as shown on                      
                  the returns.  Accordingly, the partnership net                      
                  income is increased $888,528.00 in 1990 and                         
                  $1,054,576.00 in 1991.  (See attached.)                             

                  The attachment referred to in the above explanation                 
             states that Beaufort Leaf's tobacco sales for 1990 were                  
             recomputed as follows:                                                   

                 (1) Sales of flue-cured tobacco           $1,225,535                 
                 (2) Sales of burley tobacco               853,015                    
                 (3) Sales of tobacco "not in the form"    74,678                     
                 TOTAL TOBACCO SALES FOR 1990              2,153,228                  
                 Claimed on return                         1,264,700                  
                 Net adjustment to gross income            888,528
