W. J. MEYERS, Respondent v. JOHN RAISTY and Farmers Grain Company, a Corporation, Appellants.

Landlord and tenant—when title to crops are to remain in landlord until division thereof, it is not necessary to file contract as chattel mortgage.

Following Merchants State Bank v. Sawyer Farmers’ Co-op. Asso. 47 N. D. 375, 14 A. L. R. 1353, 182 N. W. 263, it is held:

Where a lease of a farm on shares contains a provision to the effect that title to and possession of all crops shall be in the lessor until the conditions of the lease have been complied with by the lessee and a division made of the crop, such provision is effective without filing the contract as a chattel mortgage. An assignee of the tenant ig presumed to be acquainted with the terms and stipulations of the lease, and acquires no greater rights than the tenant had to transfer.
