approximately 10000 oil field workers
ana their families had filtered into
tue territory. Shacks popped up. like

loaded with machinery worth thous-
ands OF dollars, Numbered into the
area almost unnoticed and prepar-
alton for the lifting of the restric-
tons went on almost UNDECIDED by
many of the people living in the dis
trict.
The restriction agreement, lifted
today, was put into effect two years
ago In the Maud and Mission pools,
when the other fields of the greater
Seminole area were running at their
peak.
Outlook Bright
A few wells were drilled. but we're
shut down by agreement before pro-
duetion was reached. and the terri
tory has been virtually at a stand
still until a few years ago.
Two months & eight or ten wells
we're drilled, in scattered locations,
under special permits from the
Seminole field umpire. and prediction
found in these has led oil men TO
make highly optimistic estimates of
the possible production Of the two
pools.
The area still Is restricted. to a
certain extent. as only two wells are
to be permitted TO each 40-acre tract.
The territory from whic hthe drill
ing restriction was lifted extends
from the northeast corner OF the
Mission area. in section $50. south
and west TO within about three miles
Of Maud. where the majority Of the
new wells are located.

DOUGLAS DAILY DISPATCH SUNDAY MORNING MARCH 25 1928

only 25 miles from Detroit, situated
on main highway.
we haven't failed in the operation
of Wabeek Farms" Frank Williamson
declares. And the relations between
the senator and us are Of the best.
But Senator Couzens wants his place
kept up as show place and we, can't
afford to pay force of men to\have
this done. We have farmed the farm
as farmers, not as millionaires."
Those Curious Tourists
I'VE have worked the farm with six
regular farm hands and a much larger
crew during harvest time. The force
of men we have had could maintain
any good farm of this size. But we
can't keep a staff OF guides Tor inter-
ested spectators on the estate, and
make money!
The main argument against this ex-
pertinent, as advanced by Frank is its
over capitalization. For example,
there's the $125,OO0 COW barn
Whoever built this barn for Sem
ator Couzens apparently wanted to

down the row Of feed troughs all at
once. This feature alone neceSsitated
much more labor than open troughs
would"
Invested S17,5OO
The Williamson brothers say they
invested about $17,50O in cattle, Sheep
hogs, horses and equipment for the
farm. They had an estate Of TIA
acres to work, 500 of which are till
able. When their property is disposed
of at auction, they believe they will
have operated the place at q profit,
although they are reluctant to put
this at the figures set by Senator Cou-
ZenS.
If the boys had had to pay rent
and taxes, however, they would have
lost between $4,000 and $4,000 for
the 10 months they operated the farm,
in the belief of the senator.
Despite the wonderful conveniences
at the farm, the boys met with diff
cultieS with Pontiac health authorities
and with Couzens himself At one
time, it is said health officials con-
tended the milk from the Williamson
COWS exceeded the permissible bac-
terial count. The boys denied this,
saying the count was unusually low,
due to the clean equipment and mod
ern methods used at the farm.
The Capitalistic Farmer
But Senator Couzens himself dis
agreed with them on the standard
of cleanliness maintained at Wabeek
Farms. Although the boys said they
were keeping the place clean accord
ing to farming standards" Couzens
maintained they didn't suit him.
"It is impossible for Q, capitalistic
farmer to reap the usual agricultural
benefits" is Frank Williamson's part
ing remark. "A large part of the
benefit from the farm comes in food,
shelter, fuel and other necessities.
Property built up with high-priced
buildings and show equipment will
not give those returns to either ten
nant or owner"
Even their close proximity to the
big markets of Pontiac and Detroit
failed to make their venture profit
able.
Now speculation is rife as to what
NOQAC1lo Will Will 114O 4ctL
At present he refuses to give it any
attention, at least until congress adj
journs.
"But I will never attempt another
such plan," is his conviction.
To Sell 100 Cows
The brothers have 100 head of mich
cows and scores of sheep and hogs.
These will be disposed of at auction
along with their tools and other
equipment. Their herd of feeding
cattle will be shipped to pasture for
the summer. They have not decided
yet what they will do after the sale,
although both say they have received
several Turing offers to manage farms.
Frank maintains that farming is a
paying proposition when done prop
erly.

the deal is accepted. Senator Couzens,
previous to this agreement, figures
he has been losing as much as $4,000
a year in the operation of his estate,
which he calls Wabeek Farms.
Not a Paying Business
Under the Williamson operation,
however, he reports the boys cleared
about $4,000 in their 18 months there,
and all it cost him was $4,000 year
in taxes and the rent he might have
collected for the use of the farm.
But it was not a paying business
proposition, and the boys look upon
the venture as impractical from the
viewpoint of farming. 1t is a great
show-place not far from Pontiac and

unique experiment in practical farm
ing, that has been watched with
great interest by the farmers and
agricultural experts.
1t was begun 18 months ago when
Senator Couzens chose Frank and
Mark Williamson out of more than a
thousand applicants to take over his
farm and convert the ever increasing
losses into an appreciable profit.
Both boys were well equipped for the
job. One of them, Frank, had been
raised on farm and graduated from
Michigan State college. The other
had been practical farmer all his
life.

city. the we'll known collector of Americana. the two rooms have been furnished completely with early Con- necticut pieces. On the walls hang pair of portraits of Queen Anne and
 her consort. George of Denmark. ex- ecuted by a Colonial coach painter apparently after engravings. Here also are portraits of the v,Thomas Bradbury Chandler. Yale 1745, and of John Davenport. the first minister of Center church. The rooms thus reflect the home surroundings of well-to-do family in Colonial Con- necticut. two centuries or more ago. The large adjacent gallery con- tains a greater and more varied col lection of portraits. for many years the property of the university. and is embellished with English and Amer ican furniture also loaned by MT. Garvan. The room is considered quite different from the usual for nal museum galleryas the furniture is not only most interesting and
 pleasing in itself. but affords a natural setting for the paintings. Prominent among the portraits IS one of George l, painted in 1714 by one of the artists employed in the popular studio of Sir Godfrey knell- CT. It was presented to Yale in TIN by Governor Elihu Yale. On the op- posite wall hangs the large portrait of Elihu Yale himself, painted in 1717 by the English artist Enoch Zeeman. A rather stiff and primitive portrait of Gurdon Saltonstall. the Connecticut Colony's governor who was largely responsible for the re- moval of Yale to New Haven. hangs next to three portraits by the Colo nial painter. Ralph Earl. Among these is a painting of Roger Sher- man, Yale Hon. NJ. A. 176s. one of the signers of the Declaration of h. dependence. One side of the room is dominated by the well known por- trait group of Bishop Berkeley and his family. painted by the trans planted Scotch artist. John Smibert. It is dated 1729, and said to be the first painting executed in this coun- try in which more than one figure was introduced.
 The portrait of Ezra Stiles. seventh president of Yale, painted by Smi- bert's second son, Nathaniel. is also included in this important group of early American artists. John Single ton Copley is represented by the

The best known of Morse's paintings are those of Eli Whitney, Yale 1792, inventor of the cotton gin, and of MT. and Mrs. David DeForest. Professor Theodore Woolsey. of Yale. has loaned for the occasion Morse self portrait never before publicly exhibited. Among the portraits by John Wesley Jarvis are included those of the author, James Fenimore Cooper. who at- tended Yale, and William Leffing- well. Yale 17S6 Gilbert Stuart, the centenary of whose death is being commemorated this year by art museums throughout the country, IS represented by four portraits among which are those of General David Knapp. A small portrait of Profes- sor Benjamin Silliman, ST, Yale 179s. by the New Haven painter. George w. Flagg, is included. A re- plica of the famous battle piece, the Death of General Wolfe" by the eNpatriated American painter, Ben iamin West, the gift Of Professor William Loring Andrews. is hung on the same wall with drawings by the English painters Raeburn and John Downman, loans from James w. Barney, of New York. and Edward B. Greene, of Cleveland. Downman lived and died at Wrexham, Wales, the birthplace of Elihu Yale.
 The pictures on exhibition were cleaned and revarnished by Charles Durham, of Boston. who undertook the reconditioning of the Yale Titan some months ago. Many of the portraits have been taken out of their mid nineteenth century frames and put into frames corresponding in style to the period of the pictures. The museum staff was aided by the advice of John Hill Margan, of New York. the authority on early Amerl- can art.
 The room containing Col. John Trumbull's portraits and battle pieces. and mahogany furniture of the period also loaned by MT. Gar van. will be opened in few weeks. The installation of the balance of the gallery will not be completed until mid winter.

New Haven. Nov. 23 - A further section of the first unit of the new Yale Gallery of Fine Arts. consist Ing or three rooms devoted to the art or the American Colonial and early Federal periods, was opened to the public today. Two of these rooms nave the original panelling. and woodwork of a house built in North Branford. Conn.,. in about 1710. and are known as the "Branford RoomA" The house. threatened with demolition when the New Haven Water company began to construct 1ts new reservoir, was purchased by the university two years ago. The plans of the new gallery were modi- fled to accommodate the two prin- cipal rooms 50 that the four win- dows and staircase could be installed in their proper relative positions. The recreation was carried out un- der the supervision of J. Frederick Kelly. of New Haven, architect. au- thor and authority on early Connec- ticut domestic architecture.
 The house was built 8 few years after Governor Gurdon Saltonstall's s mansion at Branford. and proba bly, in emulation of it. Like many old houses it went through many vicis- situdes, and was finally used by workmen on the reservoir All of the panelling, however. had been re- painted ,and was therefore protect ~4 .l- Ll Der of times by occupants of the house, so that it was necessary to scrape off 8 quantity of old wall paper and remove many layers of white paint to get down to the bare unstained white wood panelling in ono room and to the original green blue stain in the other.
