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 24 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““ * * * The excess cotton available for marketing consisted of 81 bales, amounting to 37,447 pounds, upon which the penalty, at the rate of seven cents a pound, at the time of any marketing prior to the expiration of quotas on July 31, 1943, would be $2,621.29. The quota and the excess were apportioned among the defendant and his sharecroppers . upon the basis of their respective interests in the acreage planted to cotton and, in accordance with this apportionment, the marketing penalty would be $1,825.67 for the defendant and $795.62 for the sharecroppers. “A single red marketing card, accompanied by forms of marketing certificates in triplicate, was issued to defendant, as operator of the farm, in respect to all cotton produced by him and his sharecroppers in consequence of which the defendant became liable for all penalties. Marketing certificates, executed by the defendant and his buyers and furnished by the latter to the Government, indicate the disposition by sale during the period August through December 1941 of 84 bales of cotton, amounting to 39,029 pounds, constituting all but 182 pounds of the quota cotton.””
