Every agreement whereby a member of an agricultural class purports to alienate or charge the produce of his land or any part of or share in such produce for more than five years shall not take effect for more than five years from the date of the agreement, unless the sanction of the Deputy Commissioner is given thereto, and shall until such sanction is given or if such sanction is refused, take effect as if it had been made for five years.

1. (a) crops and other products of the earth standing or ungathered, on the land ;
2. (b) crops and other products of the earth which have been grown on the land during the past year and have been reaped or gathered.
