The first solution to this problem was by the way o:? a joint-venture part- nership, where the bog was con- structed "on shares"; an informal arrangement by which a few friends or relatives each contributed that which he was capable of giv- ing, namely: land, labor, or funds. Each then shared in the partner- ship to the extent of his contribu- tion. In many cases, however, there was not even a formal ari'ange- ment for dividing the real estate or the ensuing crops. In some in- stances, the verbal arrangements made by the original parties are still being used by the descendants of the original owners. Many of the early growers who planned to extend their holdings sought financial help from individ- ual lenders. Here was the begin- ning of large concentration of hold- ing by the grower-lender. The terms of their loans were such t:iat they were largely favorable to the lender; a breach of contract meant speedily foreclosure and a new bog for the lender.
