This action was commenced in the name of a minor by her mother, designated in the title as “guardian”, and, it was said, by another person called an attorney in fact. No appointment as guardian was alleged or proved. The mother, however, was the natural guardian and assumed all the duties and liabilities, and became subject to all the obligations and restraints of a next friend.

The admissions of the defendant removed from the controversy the question of ownership of the land by the infant’s grantor. It was also admitted that the wheat sued for was rent wheat'and the amount and value were agreed upon. There could be no controversy, therefore, but that the wheat was a share of the crop, which, under the statute, belonged to the landowner and passed by his deed.
None of the claims of error are of substantial merit, and the judgment of the district court is affirmed.
