BY CHARLES W. DANIEL
(Lor N. C. Bar Association)
Agricultural Liens
Now that tobacco-setting and gen
eral planting time is at hand again,
the importance of laws relating to ag
riculture is spot-lighted.
Since a good part of North Caro
lina farming is conducted on a credit
basis from year to year, the law of
agricultural liens for supplies and
money advanced to the tenant or 1
farmer is particularly important.
All advances of money or supplies
to the farmer on crops to be grown
in any one year are governed by stat
utes in North Carolina. Before any
advance is made—if the lender wants
a good “crop lien”—he and the farm
er MUST enter a written agreement,
telling the amount of the credit, or
setting a top limit on it.
Must Be Recorded
Now, this agreement MUST be reg
istered with the Register of Deeds in
the county where the land is locat- I
ed (if it is to have effect against
others who have also given credit to
the farmer). As between the lender
or creditor and the farmer, the writ
ten agreement is good without regis
tration.
This agreement does not have to be
in any particular form. If it sets out |
what most folks would understand to
be an agreement for credit against a!
crop of any particular year, it is all
right. In actual practice, the agree- ,
ment is usually in the form of a chat- ■
tel mortgage. To avoid possible later
trouble, the agreement should be care
fully and expertly drawn.
This agreement is limited to cover
only the “crop (s) made within one 1
year of the date of the agreement.*
It can continue to be good against
crops grown in that year but harvest
ed later. The recorded agreement
gives the creditor a “Hen” on the
farmers’ crops which coma's ahead of
all other claims EXCEPT pay to la
bor and the kind owner’s rent
For example, if the fart re:; gave a
chattel mortgage on his Unns for
some other debt which he owed, the
lien of a propertly recorded agreement
for advance- would have to bo paid
FIRST out of money from those crops.
The land, on which the crops are to
be grown must be identified.so that a
person reading the agreement would
know what, land was covered. One
agreement said “a field or farm in
possession” of the borrower, and the
North Carolina Supreme Court de
clared such a description to he all
right. The Court also said the fol
lowing \v: s a sufficient description;
upon Opossum Quarter tract
of land in Warren County ... or any i
other la’id la may cultivate during the j
present year.”
Landlord's Lien
The North Carolina landlord, by i
law, has t! TOP. or first, lien on I
ALL crops raised, on leased land, until J
rent and other assistance toward mak- j
ing and -. ving the crops are paid.
The land "•(I does NOT need to have
any kind . f written agreement to en
force hi- lien for rent and help to the
man renting the land. The law takes
care of this for him.
The North Carolina law seeks to
protect tiie tenant or borrower from
overcharges by a landlord or lender. |

It says that the landlord or lender
may charge for supplies “a price not
more than 10 per cent over the retail
cash price” for such supplies.
This certainly seems to give the
lender plenty of return for his ad
vances in view of the fact legal in- 1
terest rates can not otherwise be more
than eight per cent. I
May Be Transferred |
The lender is an agreement for ad
vances on crops may sell or transfer '
his lien to another person. The sec- j
ond person then would become the.
lender and the borrowing farmer '
would be obligated to him. |
If the tenant or borrower refuses to
pay when due or is about to do away
with the crops under lien, the lender
can, by affidavit before the Clerk of
Superior Court, have the crops taken
by the sheriff and sold so that the j
lander can get his money.

CALVARY
“For God so loved the world, that j
he gave his only begotten Son, that ■
[whosoever believeth in him should not!
perish, but have everlasting life” John |
Many of the so called churches of j
this day are cold, weak, careless and
powerless. They only have a name to
live. There are many spiritual anem
ics. Too many instead of having a
glowing burning Christian experience
only have a pale experience. The pulse
of modern religion is running very
low, What the churches need is a
blood transfusion from Calvary,
j Jesus Christ is either divine or he
| was an imposter. He either has all
I power or he did not have the power |
which he claimed. His blood has pow
er to atone for sins or else it had no
more power than the blood of bulls,
rams and goats. Souls must be saved
through the atoning power of the j
blood of Christ or they cannot be sav
ed at all.
I Calvary is the road to a victorious '
] life and heaven or there is no road.
Every soul is bom into the world a
bankrupt and a pauper. There is no'
I earthly way for any person to redeem j
■ themselves through and by their own!
goodness. It would be just as possible ]
for a person to lift themselves up by
their own boot-straps.
[ Calvary is the focal point of all
time. It is the death sentence to sin.
It is the gateway through which man
may enter into his rightful state.
“For the wages of sin is death; but •
the gift of God is eternal life through!
Jesus Christ our Lord” Romans 6:23.

ANOTHER MILK RECORD
Milk production on North Carolina
farms during March of 1954 amounted
to 144 million pounds. This amount
sets another record for the month of
March. Production during March of
1953 was placed at 130 million pounds
and at 122 million during March of
1952. Average monthly production
per cow in North Carolina herds was
estimated at 368 pounds or 8 per cent
above the average production rate of
342 pounds during March of 1953.
EGG PRODUCTION UP
Farm production of eggs in North
Carolina during March of 1954,
amounted to 156 million eggs. This
amount compares with 145 million pro- 1
duced during March of 1953 and re
flects a normal seasonal increase of
26 per cent above the 124 million eggs
produced during February of 1954.
The March 1954 daily average per
centage lay was estimated at 58.6 per
cent compared with 50.4 per cent dur
ing February and 55.1 per cent dur- ,
ing March of 1953. I
