44-8-101. Land in cultivation sufficiently fenced.

Every planter shall make and keep a sufficient fence, of ordinarily sound and substantial material, around the planter's land in cultivation, and so close, for at least two and one-half feet (2½¢) from the surface of the earth, as to prevent hogs large enough to do damage from passing through the fence.
