Leflar, J., concurring. I concur in the result stated in the opinion prepared by McFaddin, J., that the judgment of the Circuit Court should be affirmed, but at the same time I believe that the rule of law set out in the opinion of G-eorge Rose Smith, J., is correct. Since the rule is set out clearly and succinctly in Judge Smith’s opinion, it is not necessary to repeat it here. My agreement with the decision to affirm the judgment is based upon the view that, under the record in this case, there was no substantial evidence that the appellee landowner failed to act with reasonable prudence in planting liis crops under tlie actual circumstances liere present. The Circuit Judge, under this state of the evidence, was justified in not leaving to the jury the question whether appellee acted with reasonable prudence. The evidence has already been discussed in the two other opinions filed in this case, and there would he no advantage in anatyziug it again in this opinion, particularly since the same facts are unlikely to be present in another case.
