This was an executory contract of purchase. At its date the clover seed was growing in the field. The seller was required to harvest, thresh, reclean and sack the seed, load the same on ears and ship to Portland. Until all these requirements were complied with by the seller title would not pass. The trial court so found. (Brown v. Herrick, 34 Ida. 171, 200 Pac. 117; Mark P. Miller Milling Co. v. Butterfield-Elder Implement Co., 32 Ida. 265, 181 Pac. 703; Clinton Sheep Co. v. Ogee, 34 Ida. 22, 198 Pac. 675; Hamilton v. Gordon, 22 Or. 557, 30 Pac. 495; Kenney v. Grogan, 17 Cal. App. 527, 120 Pac. 433; Hughes v. Wiley, 36 Kan. 731, 14 Pac. 269; Williston on Sales, p. 4 04, sec. *47280. See, also, Carlson v. Crescent etc. Box Mfg. Co., 20 Ida. 794, 120 Pac. 460.)
The appellant did not show title or right to possession of the clover seed, and cannot maintain this action. (Mark P. Miller Milling Co. v. Butterfield-Elder Implement Co., supra; Clinton Sheep Co. v. Ogee, supra.)
It is unnecessary to consider the other assignments of error.
The judgment is affirmed, with costs to respondents.
