Austrian had plowed and planted
four hundred acres of wheat and the
wheat had come up and was in good
condition and gave promise of a
bumper" crop. Under the law the
Austrian had only six months time
in which to redeem the farm under
the foreclosure, and the six months
would expire before the crop could
be harvested in 1914. 1t was the
courts decision that it seemed cruel
injustice that along with the land
the Austrian should lose also the crop
which he had Sown in the fall. That
he should be punished for tilling the
land and that the creditor should get
the wheat crop, particularly as the
land itself was of sufficient value Co
