There was 9 corner. of Manitoba) where
eleven farms were Owned by eleven men. Eight
_ of those men were darn good farm operators;
two of them got by fairly well; one was in
deep trouble.

Each year, the eleven men climbed on
eleven tractors and tilled their eleven farms;
all did the job well. All of them, at the same
time, mulled over their farm problems and
made decisions.

Then one morning farmer Johnson was
struck by the fact that here they all were —
eight extremely fine brains, two good brains,
one poor brain {but good tractor operator),
bouncing around the fields,.1t was inconceiv-
able that those brains were fully otcupied all
the time. -

So he thought, “Why don’t we get to-
gether. Eight of us could raise quite a bit of
money, two could raise a little, and the elev-
erth, if we supervised him, could operate an
enterprise. He’d have a ten-man Board of Dir-
ectors meeting once a week, if need be, to
direct him — and he could use the fees we'd
pay him: Then, when we're all sitting on our
bottoms on these tractors, we could be using
