Section 36August 30, 1954, Sec./Art. 36

Further Rights of the Tenant. - In addition to the provision of Section twenty-two, the tenant shall have the right to:

1. Determine when to scatter the seeds, to transplant the seedlings, and to reap the harvest, provided they shall be in accordance with proven farm practices and after due notice to the landholder.

2. Choose the thresher which shall thresh the harvest whenever it is the best available in the locality and the best suited to the landholder's and tenant's needs and provided the rate charged is equal to or lower than the rate charged by the owner of other threshers under similar circumstances: Provided, further, That in cases where there are more than tenant the selection of the majority of the tenants shall prevail: Provided, finally, That if the landholder is the owner of a thresher and is ready and willing to grant equal or lower rates under the same conditions, the use of the landholder's thresher shall be given preference.

3. Apply appropriate pest, insect, disease and rodent control measures whenever in his judgment such action is necessary: Provided, however, That if a tenant fails to apply any of the above control measures after the landholder has made a request in writing for such action, he shall be liable for any loss resulting from such failure.

4. Apply fertilizer of the kind or kinds shown by proven farm practices to be adapted to the requirements of the land, provided the landholder has not exercised his right under Section twenty-five to require the use of such fertilizer.
