The Constitutional mendments
evidently 'have both passed.
Farmers most everywhere were
gulled into voting for the tax a.
mendment, but they certainly
will be sick of their votes, is our
prediction. As we said before
the election, the tax laws were
all right, the trouble was in the
assessments. The corporations
want classification so they can
be put into a class that will not
only escape, as they do now, a
just assessment, but they will es-
cape an equal taxation with the
farmers, and then the farmers
tax will go soaring. Mark our
prediction and remember "we
told you So"
The Times was one of the very
few papers that was against the
amendment, and possibly was
the only one that fatty refused
to use the boiler plate sent out
by corporations to influence vot.
ers to vote against their own in
terests.

fer that city, a franchise was
granted the Paris Gas & Electric
Company to operate an artificial

- rate of from s1.10 to $1.65

may lose your crop while it is still
| growing. You secure no better
rights than the man from whom yor
lease and if there is mortgage due
and he does not pay it the land may
be sold and the growing crops pass
to the purchaser. So, too, the land
lord might not have good title anc

Langdon Cummings owned forty
acres on the River Road. The land
was heavily mortgaged and Cum.
mings was troubled with a load OF
other debts. Saulson, large, un-
secured creditor, secured a judg.
ment against Cummings and soug hi
to enforce it by levy. Cummings
had a fine patch of blackberries and
another of wheat. Both the berries
and the wheat were levied upon.
The levy upon the berries was de-
feated; that upon the wheat allowed.
The reason was that the levy was
effective only against personally
and the court regarded berries as
realty but wheat as personally. and
this though both were still at
tached to the soil.
Though all crops are realty as
long as they remain physically at
tached to the land for certain pur-
poses, as pointed out above there
are other points of view from which
certain crops are regarded as per-
sonalty and others as realty. This
important distinction is the one the
law draws between what il refers to
as fructes naturales and fructes in
dustriales; and it matters not TO the
law that the fruit grower feels that
his are rather the products of in
dustry than of nature. But the law
provides a different classification
for those crops which are produced
annually year after year from the
same root, as the fruits of trees,
vines and bushes and grasses.
Crops, on the other hand that re-
suit from annual planting, fertiliz-
ing and cultivation, are regarded as
different. The former are fructes
naturales and are viewed as real
property at all times. The latter
are fructes industriales, or en-
Elements, and while realty so that
they pass with the land when title
is transferred, they are viewed as
personal property in regard to mat
tiers of sale, levy, etc. 1t is to be
borne in mind that the former class,
fructes naturales, become personal
property as soon as they are de-
tached from the realty by cutting

POPULAR TALKS ON LAW
The Law Of Growing Crops
BY Waller K. Towers, A. B., j. D., Of the
Michigan Bar.

John Skinner planted row of ap-
pie trees on his own land, some six
feet from the boundary line. The
trees fourished and eventually the
branches extended over Neig hbor
Wilder's property and the roots, be-
ing. no Fespectors of legal titles,
pushed across under Wilder's soil
In fall of big fruit crops the sight
of SO much fine fruit hanging above
his property aroused Wilder. He
bethought himself of the principle
of law that mans property eX-
tends indefinitely upward and in
definitely downward, got his ladder,
and leaning it against the branches
above his own property, picked the
fruit that dangled there. He kept
entirely on and over his own land
in harvesting the fruit.
Skinner sued Wilder for unlaw-
fully taking his apples and recov-
cred damages. The court ruled
that though the apples dangled over
Wilder's land they grew on tree
the main trunk of which was ex-
clusively and entirely on SINNERS
land, that it was SINNERS tree and
all of the fruit on it SINNERS prop
erty. 1t was Wilder's right to keep
limbs from extending over his prop
erty by cutting them off, but he had
no right to take any of Skinner
property because it extended past
his line.
In cases where trees are planted
on the boundary or so close that
the main limbs extend directly into
the other parcel of land, the general
rule is that the owners of the adj
joining lands are proprietors of the
tree as tenants in common and so
must share its produce. If either
should injure the tree the other may
have his remedy against him.
Generally speaking. whatever is
attached to the earth is real proper
ty and so remains as long as it is
so attached. This applies to grains
and grasses as we'll as to the fruit
upon trees and bushes. This should
always be kept in mind in selling
cultivated lands of any kind. All
crops growing thereon, being a
part of the realty, will pass under

EnOlemenCS, the annual, CuIt1Vat.
ed crops being regarded as person
al property for purposes of sale
may be transferred by oral sale as
they stand in the fields, while &
writing is generally required in the
transfer of fructes naturales. En-.
elements being realty may be levied
on as such. If harvested before a
mortgage sale is consumated they
are not transferred with the proper.
ty under mortgage sale.
One who wrongfully or carelessly
damages the growing crop of an
other is legally liable to make good
the loss in damages. The owner of
the growing crop may always vindi-
cate his right that it be not injured.
If the crop be totally destroyed the
damages are the value of the crop
at the time and place it was de-
stroyed. Partial damage is esti-
mated upon the same basis. The
owner of the crop may not take as
the measure of damages what he
expected to get for the crop when it
was all ripe and harvested. The
law doesn't encourage counting
ones chickens before they are
Matched. Neither may the wrong
doer' escape by paying merely the
cost expended upon the crop to the
time of injury. The evidence of
those familiar with crops and con-
ditions is secured and the damage
based on the value of the crop at
the time and place it was injured
how much the owner could have
sold it for as it stood at that time.
Many disputes arise between
landlord and tenant about crops.
If a tenant pays cash rent for the
land upon which he grows his crops
and plants Only crops which mature
before his term ends-no difficulty
occurs. The tenant owns the crops
produced. But if a tenant for a
definite term plants crops which
mature after the end of that term,
he is generally not entitled to re-
turn after the end of his term and
claim the crop, though a few states
haye a different rule. Generally if
the term is uncertain as to time the
tenant cannot know that any crop
will ripen before the. term may be
terminated and he is allowed to Sc
cure all crops which have been
planted, returning to care for them
after the term shall have been un-
expectedly ended. The statutes of
some states give to the landlord a
lien on the crops of his tenant for
the rent due.
One who occupies and farms the
land of another on shares becomes
his tenant and the crops produced
are their common property. If no
fixed time has been set for dividing
the shares division is due when the
crop is harvested. In the case of a
season cropper who simply comes
upon the acreage to cultivate il, not

ing them, the crops are at all times
the property of the landlord and
the cropper has no transferable in

claims have been satisfied.
