Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 18 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The statute expressly excepts ‘agricultural labor,’ but does not expand the term in any detail. When the Congress, in providing for an exemption from the provisions of the Act, made use of the broad term ‘agricultural labor’, this expression, used by itself, must be given a meaning wide enough to include agricultural labor of any kind, as generally understood throughout the United States.””
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority“In the recent case of Chester C. Fosgate Co. v. United States, 5 Cir., 125 F.2d 775 , it was held that services rendered by a company in cultivating crops of citrus fruits under contracts with crop owners were 'agricultural labor' rendered in connection with the cultivation of the soil, even though crop owners did not directly hire laborers but dealt with the company, which in turn put laborers to work, and the company was entitled to recover back social security taxes assessed with reference to wages paid to those laborers.”
