TEW GETS CROP
IN INDEFINITE LEASE
Lack of Expiration Date Gives
Harvest Rights.

If Contract Expires at Stipulated
Time, Tenant Must Surrender

Where a lease on farm lands Is ter
minated, what right has the farmer
tenant to enter upon the land after
the termination of 'the lease and re
move the crops sown thereon prior to
the expiration date of the lease?
This question is discussed by the
supreme court of the state of Oregon
in the late case of Hostetler va.
Eccles (98 Ore. 355. 194 Pac. 166). In
' that case the owner of lands leased
the same to a tenant unaer a im
ending November 1. 1918. The lease
provided that In case the landlord
should sell the land prior to the ex
piration of the lease, the tenant
would vacaXe on November 1 of any
year of the lease upon receipt of no
tice prior to that date. Thereafter
the leased premises were sold, and
on October 28, 1917, the landlord de
manded possession on the following
November 1. three days later. At
thin time the tenant had sown 37
acres of the land In wheat and oats
which he expected to harvest the fol
lowing year. In the ensuing litiga
tion the tenant contended that, even
though he was required by the strict
terms of his lease, the land having
been sold, to surrender up possession
thereof on November 1. 1917, he had
the rieht to enter upon the-land 'n
the spring of 1918 and reap the crops
which he had sown in the fall of
1917 Drior to being notified of the
cancellation of the lease.
Gathering of Crop Sustained.
In passing upon the case the su
preme court cited section 2547 of the
Oregon laws as follows:
"When the leasing or occupancy is
lor the purpose of farming or agri
culture, the tenant, or person in pos
session, shall, after the termination
of such lease or occupancy, have free
access to the premises to cultivate
and harvest, or gather any crop or
produce of the soil planted or sown
by him before the service of notice
to quit."
The court said: "When the termi
nation of a lease Is specified to oc
cur at a certain date, the tenant who
sows a crop which cannot mature and
be harvested before the termination
of the lease, plants at his peril."
"But, pointed out the supreme
court, this was not such a case, for
inasmuch as the landlord had re
served the right to cancel the lease
at any time upon notice, the time of
the ending of the lease was uncer
tain and depended upon whether or
not the landlord should sell the prem
ises and make a demand for posses
sion. Under such circumstances, hejd
the court, the law gave to the tenant
the assurance that if he planted his
crop before being notified to quit, he
could reap his harvest, and, because
this tenant had sown his crop prior
to November 1, 1917, and after sowing
uau ueeu nuiuiea to vacate, ne was
entitled under the statute above
quoted to enter upon the land and
remove the crop when It was ready
lor harvest, even though this was
not until the spring of 1918.
Rights of Care Granted.
The court held that, inasmuch as
the statute above quoted was in ef
fect at the time the lease was made,
the landlord and tenant must be
deemed to have contracted with ref
erence to It. The court said:
"Where the termination of the
lease depends upon an uncertain
event, as, for instance, a demand
made at the discretion of the land
lord, the tenant would have free -access
to the premises to cultivate and
harvest the crop sown by him before
the service of the notice to quit."
This principle is further stated and
explained in Slevers vs. Brown (35
Ore. 454. 461. 56 Pac. 171) as follows:
"A tenant, holding by a tenure which
is uncertain as to the time it will
cease, is entitled to take off, after if
has ceased, the crops which he has
sowed in the course of husbandry.
But if it is certain at the time when
fie sows how long it will continue,
and It is plain that he cannot, before
it ceases, reap that which he may
sow, then- it, is his own folly if he
sows, and he will not be permitted to
reap. This rule does not give to-tnf'
tenant any right by reason of his
having plowed, manured, or other
wise prepared the ground for the
seed, if he has not sewed."
It Is to be noted, however, that this
right in the tenant to'enter after the
termination of his lease and remove
the crops does not apply in those
cases where the lease, is terminated
by the wrongful act of the tenant,
as, for Instance, the non-payment of
rent or the assignment of the lease,
which Is non-assignable, or the
breach by the tenant of some cove
nant of the lease.
Illustration Is Cited.
An illustration of this is found In
our own state in. the case of Myer vs.
Roberts, 60 Or. 81, 89 Pac. 1051, 12
L. R. A. (N. S.). 194. In this case
the tenant of a farm assigned his
interest in his lease to a third per-i
eon without the consent of the land
lord. As soon as the landlord learned
of the assignment he declared a for
feiture of the lease and immediately
re-entered and took possession of the
property ln a peaceable and orderly
manner. The court held that such a
breach of the leastA r.HtiAH i n n
lord to enter and declare the lease
canceled. At the time of the land
lord's re-entry a crop of hops was
growing upon the premises.
The landlord later harvested and
eold these hops, some 22,000 pounds,
whereupon the tenant brought an
action against the landlord, claiming
that the landlord had converted the
hops, asking that either the hops be
returned or the value thereof paid to
the tenant. The supreme court held
that when the landlord re-entered the
farm by reason of the tenant's breach,
the title to all crops then growing
passed to 'he landlord. The courv
said: "Wh n the estate of a tenant
or occupan of land is forfeited, or
the tenancy terminated by some act
of his, and the landlord or owner re
enters, the tenant or occupant is nox
entitled to the crops growing there
on, but they pass to the landlord with
the title to the land."
The foregoing cases illustrate the
rule in this state applicable to -the
stated question; that is, if the le?se
is to expire at a definite date, the
tenant must surrender the property on
that date and the landlord will be en
titled to all crops then growing oi.

the expiration date is not definitely

WIZDFELDT KNOWS WORLD
Ex-Director of Krupps Said to Be
Earnest Student of Economics
. and Exceptional Man.
BT MAXIMILIAN HARDEN.
(Copyright, 1922, by, The Oregonian.)
BERLIN. March 25. (Special Cable.)
The great importance of the Wash
ington ambassadorship has triumphed
over the enormous financial sacrifice
necessary and Gehelmrath Doctor
Otto Wiedfeldt, first director ' of
Krupps, will accept the post.
Do not let his title or his previous
occupation frighten you. The German
iove of titles . has resulted in every
third man past 50 being called "Ge
beimrath," but it simply means privy
councilor. The Friederich Krupp com
pany is a family affair and there are
no shares of the corporation on the
market. It never has been exclusively
a cannon factory. Even before the
war its military department . as
smaller than its industrial, while
since 1919 no war materials have been
constructed there.
Dr. Wiedfeldt has been a govern
ment official and an earnest stadent
of politics and economic statistics. He
met Lloyd -George in Essen when the
latter was there a year ago, studying
German social legislation, ana was
hierhiy esteemed by the Welshman.
Afterward he was called to the home
office, where he displayed much en
ergy and initiative. After a brief
service as counselor of the imperial
Japanese state railways he returned
to Essen, where he was appointed to
a post under the municipality.
. - Wiedfeldt Knows World. ..
The doctor finally was lufed by the
offer of tiie chief -directorship of the
KruDD organization. This is one of
the greatest industrial positions in
Germany, whose incumbent is selected
cnlv after a close scrutiny and who
must have- demonstrated exceptional
Qualities. Wiedfeldt " has been re
nowned for ,these in all of his posts
and the serious politicians 01 ier
many, have been very anxious to put
him on the road to the imperial cnan
cellorship.
He knows the world, he knows Ger
many's business and government of
fices, their strength as well as their
weaknesses. He never has been a bu
reaucrat. He will work , in Washing
ton quietly and tactfully and without
the slightest symptom of propaganda,
His appearance is that of a learned
man who !s used to brain work. May
this be a good omen. A knowledge
of economies now is more important
than ever before, yet beyond the crude
material economic world there is an
other, too often forgotten', which alone
makes life worth living in the high
est sense.
It is interesting to recall that a
dozen impossible candidates for the
ambassadorship were mentioned be
fore Dr. Wiedfeldt was persuaded to
accent the post. The imperial em
bassies in the past mostly were oc
cupied by princes, counts, titled mil
lionaires, who for the glory and pres
tige accompanying the post gladly
spent 200,000 to 800.000 marks yearly
in excess t f their salaries."
Plea Made for Economy.
It is too bad that Germany at this
time does not boldly - change - the
standard of its diplomatic missions.
For myself, I believe that the Ameri
cans and. the English would respect
an ambassador who frankly would
state that he was unable to give state
dinners costing millions of marks
while so many Germans were in
misery at home, nor could accept
them, and must beg even the box
holders of the Metropolitan opera
house to allow him to entertain them
with tea and lemonade.
Unless the mark improves in value,
which is not likely, to maintain the
embassy at Washington on Its former
scale will cost ft least 100,000,000
marks yearly; probably much more,
with wireless and cable tolls added.
The reichstag was ready to grant
whatever money was necessary pro
vided the right man could be found.
A certain American diplomat, often
mentioned in President Wilson's time,
suggested sending the world-renqwned
scholar and economist, Luigi Brentan,
or the theologian, Adolf Harnack, but
they declined on the ground of ad
vanced years. Then the perplexed
government asked Walter Nerns, the
inventor of the electric lamp which
bears his name, but he considered
himself unsulted for the position.
Candidates Turned Down.
' Many social democratic and centrist
deputies, ,'ar less modest, offered
themselves as candidates. They all
were aBtonlshed when the government
replied that, despite their unques
tioned peisorial charms, the United
States probably would not accept a

it certainly would refuse the claims

ENGLAND FACES CRISIS.
OF
Vote on Managerial Control Agree
ment S to 1 .Against Acceptance
of Employes' Terms.
LONDON, March 25. (By the Asso.
elated Press.) Unles the government
is asked to Intervene, there will be
a complete stoppage ln the engineer
ing industry, affecting 1.000,000 men.
Returns from the vote taken on
the proposed managerial control
agreement showed a majority of near
ly three to one against acceptance of
the employes' terms.
Prior to the taking of the ballot
eforts had been made to arrive at a
settlement between the labor media
tors and the chairman of the employ
ers' federation, .but those proved
futile. ,
One of the chief points In dispute
between the British engineers and
their employers, according to previous
dispatches, was the determination of
the employers to maintain their right
to exercise managerial functions, such
as determination of what constitutes
overtime work. The workers were
being given a voice In determining
questions of overtime, ramong ' other
things, and this, led to a lockout 'n
the engineering trades, which became
effective March 11. The lockout af
fected the Amalgamated Engineering
union, with '400,000 members.
Balloting on" these same questions,
the returns of which were announced
today, concerned some 60 trade unions
indirectly involved, namely, the ship
yard men, general workers and fac
tory men, who- accepted the employ
ers' proposal to take a vote on the
questions.
