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 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
““The nature of his activities, sd far as the looking after his farms is concerned, does not constitute him a farmer, but merely makes him an investor in farm lands. He had nothing to do with actually tilling the soil. If his tenant was compelled to expend, in teams, labor, tools, and implements, far more than the whole crop • produced was worth, nevertheless, Brown took one-half of what was raised on the farm, subject only to a deduction of one-half of the feed and other negligible expenses. He, in effect, took produce as rent, instead of cash, and he was not fanning, but only held large investments in farm lands, to which, as one interested would naturally, do, he gave much of his attention.””
