684 ARTICLE 53.

between the parties unless such of the lienees so making the advances or
its agent shall make an affidavit that the consideration in said agreement
is true and bona fide as therein set forth; and the said agreement may be
recorded in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court for the county in
which the land upon which said crops shall be planted or intended to be
planted, is situate; and if said land lies in more than one county, then
said agreement may be recorded in the office of the Clerk of the Circuit
Court for each of the counties in which said land lies; and the respective
clerks in whose offices shall be filed all such agreements, shall record and
properly index the same in a well-bound book to be used for that purpose,
and, when so recorded, the same shall be deemed sufficient to give con-
structive notice of said lien, to all persons, including purchasers of said
crops and creditors, of said lienor, and for such recordation said clerk shall
be entitled to charge and receive for recording each crop lien agreement a
fee of not more than one ($1. 00) dollar; provided, however, that the
liens now given to landlords under Section 24 of this Article or under any
existing law, shall not be affected by this section; and provided further
that in the event of a sale, under a mortgage or deed of trust executed and
recorded after the effective date hereof, of the land upon which any such
crop has been so seeded and/or may be growing and before said crop has
been gathered or harvested, such sale shall be made subject to the said
crop lien, and the rights of the lienee shall be protected in the same manner
and to the same extent as the rights of the debtor would be protected under
analagous circumstances under the provisions of Sections 26, 27 and 28
of Article 66 of the Annotated Code of Maryland.

For the purpose of showing the release of any crop lien agreement, the
receipt of the lienee making the advances evidencing the payment of same
by the borrower or lienor shall, on presentation, be recorded by the clerk
of the court where the said agreement is recorded.

In so far as the provisions of this section may conflict with other Acts
or parts thereof, the provisions of this section shall control.

See art. 21, secs. 94 and 95.

27.

This section referred to in overruling exceptions to title because property was
subject to ground rent, in support of which a sixty-year old lease was produced;
indications that rent never demanded. Rosenthal v. Traub, 155 Md. 169.

This section applied in Hamburger v. Finkel, 148 Md. 278.

Demand of one cent rent upon the holder of the leasehold in part only of
the leased premises, the leasehold in the balance having been merged in the
reversion by surrender, is not a demand of the rent due, the reversioners being
entitled to only a portion of the rent, and consequently such demand does not
prevent extinguishment of rent as result of failure to demand or pay rent for
twenty years. Arnd v. Lerch, 162 Md. 318.

Cited but not construed in Oxenham v. Mitchell, 160 Md. 272.

28.

Where lease provides for termination of tenancy in case property is destroyed
or made untenantable by fire, tenancy is not terminated if property can be re-
stored by ordinary repairs in few days. Barry v. Herring, 153 Md. 461.
