tically run wild for years except where IL
was cultivated in little truck patches by
negro squatters aud others.
Prof. L. c. Corbett, of the department,
is in charge of the work OF bringing this
waste land into a model farm. He re-
ceived his practical education in the great
fruit growing and agricultural region or
central New York. His farm training was
supplemented by a four years scientific
course at Cornell College, where he
was afterward instructor in horticulture.
Through his energetic efforts these 400
acres, where government mules have lately
been roaming in pasture and the squatter
has cultivated a few onions, cabbages and
beets, are being transformed into an at
tractive. rolling piece of farm land which
later on is to be the model farm Of the
country.
Just now men are at work blowing the
whole farm and planting cow peas, which
are TO be Dlowed under in the fall for fer

Ii is expected that within the next six or
seven years this government farm will be
in perfection. IT will then be one Of the
noted sights OF Washington. and visitors
TO the national capital will have something

farm will be divided by walks and roads

NOT A GAME OF CHANCE
DECISION BY JUDGE BAKER IN A
BUCKET SHOP CASE.
Buying Margins Does Not Come Under
the Law Enacted to Prevent
Gambling.

In ruling sent to this city yesterday by
Judge Baker Of the United States Court
from Goshen. Ind, in the suit of James
Boyce against the Odell Commission Com
pany. OF Muncie, he sustains the demurrer
TO the complaint, and holds that betting on
the future market price of a commodity is
not betting on a game.
Boyce brought suit against the Muncie
firm for $S.44914. which he complains he
lost by specializing in market margins. Suit
TO recover the amount was brought under
act of the Indiana Legislature of 1852.
and the demurrer filed by the defendant
contended that the statute now in force
does not cover the subject of betting on
margins. options on the rise and fall Of
market prices. 1t was further contended
that a bucket shop does not of itself consti-
tute game any more than a pack of cards
or box Of dice.
In his opinion Judge Baker quoted a mum.
buer Of decisions showing that money bet
on the result Of an election could not be
recovered, as such a wager is not within
the meaning of the Indiana statutes and
under his ruling Boyce cannot recover the
amount he alleges he lost through the
Munce commission firm as the complaint
does not state a cause of action under the
statute OF this State. In his opinion he
says:
1T is manifest that the bets. or wagers,
were made on the future market price, and
as the price went up, or down. the result
was determined. Betting on the future
market price of commodity is not betting
on game. 1t Is betting on an uncertain
future event but IL no more resembles
game than does betting on the result of an
election, or upon the result of a lawsuit. 1t
is obvious that the acts OF 1924, 1888 and 1852
were not intended by the lawmakers to en-
brace bets, or wagerS, on the future mar
kets for the reason that this species of bet
ting was then unknown. This considera-
ton is entitled to much weight in the con-
structon Of the statute.
1T is not. however. decisive, for, If betting
on the future price OF a commodity falls
within the meaning Of the word game as
used in the statute, ii must be held to be
within the statute. But we think IL clear
that the word game cannot, without the
perversion of common and correct speech,
be construed TO embrace bet or wager on
the market price of q commodity -
