Hardwick v. Burtz

Opinion of the Court

Jackson, Judge.

The only question made in this case, is whether the special lien for fertilizers, created, by §1978 of the Code, is subject to the rule that a sale or mortgage cannot be made of an unplanted crop. We think not; because it is necessary to fertilize before the crop is planted, and the statute would be robbed of all its beneficial results if so construed.

Judgment reversed.
