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 10 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““. . . the life tenant has an interest in the crop after it has commenced to grow which he might sell or which the owner might sell or mortgage and that his contract would be protected. It was a share that would descend or pass to the real owner whoever he might be. “The life tenant’s share may be apportioned by the district court in accordance with the laws of the state and the growth of the crop. The crop had grown from September to December 28, and may be apportioned and paid to the life tenant or the executor of his estate.” (p. 239.)”
