The landlord shall have a lien upon the crops of his tenant for his rent in preference to all other liens. Laborers who assist in making any crop shall have a lien thereon to the extent of the amount due them for such labor, next in priority to the landlord, and as between such laborers there shall be no preference. The landlord's lien for advances shall be paid next after the satisfaction of the landlord's lien for rent and the laborer's lien for labor and shall rank in other respects as it does now under existing laws.
