15. Lessee to be Reimbursed for Limestone, Fertilizer, etc. In case of the termination of this lease before the lessee shall have secured the just benefits from any expense he may have in good faith put upon the farm, the lessor shall reimburse him to the amount such expense would benefit an incoming tenant,

If raw rock phosphate or ground limestone has been applied during this lease, the lessee shall be reimbursed by the lessor for his share of such limestone or rock phosphate still in the ground as follows: if only one crop has been grown since the application the lessee shall receive three-fourths of his total expenditures for such material applied, including the cost of handling the whole application; if two years' crops have been grown he shall receive one-half, and if three years' crops have been grown, onefourth of said cost.

The lessee shall be reimbursed for any large amount of work or large expense put on buildings, fences, or other improvements, when failure to receive same would be a manifest injustice to said lessee.

If this amount is greater than the amount the lessor should reimburse the lessee as determined above in this section, the two amounts shall be

considered as balancing each other and no reimbursement shall be made.

The lessee shall present in writing his claim for all reimbursement upon the termination of this lease, and if no agreement can be reached, the matter shall be submitted to three disinterested parties chosen as provided in section 16 of this lease. The decision of these arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the two parties to this contract.
