ing for or harvesting any crop may

out permit, on condition that he shall |

to the proper county in case of a
county road, for any injury done in
so using such road or highway, said
damages to be recovered in an action i

or skid, nor as to prevent the use of i
the driving wheels thereof on dirt or
