Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>Landlord and Tenant — Wheat Harvested by Landlord — Division of Net Proceeds. A renter of land agreed with the owner to put in a crop of wheat and harvest it, each to take as his portion one-half of the crop, with the exception that in the event that the land was sold before harvest time instead of a share of the crop the renter was to receive from the owner of the land the value of the time and labor expended in putting in the crop. Hearing that the land had been sold the renter failed to harvest the crop and the owner procured it to be done, and also sold and otherwise disposed of the wheat. Upon a trial the jury awarded to the renter the value of one-half of the crop less the expense of harvesting it determined by the customary rate for harvesting wheat. Held, that there was testimony sufficient to support the verdict.</p>
