BEACH RULING
CAUSES ALARM
Mothers Plead with Police
To Keep Children
From River.

Complaints by anxious parents
that their children were frequent
ing dangerous parts of the river
almost ceased this summer with the
opening OF the Tidal Basin. accord
ing to Capt. James E. Mulhall. OF
the Fifth precinct. The Fifth pre-
cinct comprises a great part OF the
river front Of the Eastern Branch
Of the Potomac. and a number Of
the dangerous ''swiUmin' holes"
popular with the boys ,Tashing-
ton during past summers.
Capt Mulhall said last night that
hardly a complaint had been re-
ceived at the station house this
summer. due, he believed. to the
TACT the youngsters were swim
ming at Tidal Basin and their pa
rents had been relieved of the anX-
lety Of other summers.
Since the order closing the Tidal
Basin to the youngsters part Of the
day. the boys are returning to their
former haunts, and calls for assist
ance in keeping them out of the
river are again beginning to come
into the station houses in the vi
cinity OF the river.
One 13-year-old boy was nabbed
by a patrolman from No. II precinct
yesterday. while swimming in the
river under the Anacostia bridge. He
protested that he had been accus-
toned to swim in the river near the
bridge for several years, ever since
he had learned to swim. and when
forbidden access to the Tidal Basin a
week ago. had been forced to re-
turn to his old swimying hole.
The yOungster declared that he
preferred the cleaner water of the
basin. and il was more fun" to dive
from the diving boards there than
from the bank along the river. but
they won't let me in any more" he
aid He was released on his prom
ise to stay out Of the river in the
future. but dolefully demanded Of
the officer: why can't they let a
fellow have any fun"

CROPS RUNNING
BEHIND RECORD
Despite Increase of Acreage
Devoted to Staples Pro-
duction Lags.

Official reports OF the Department
of Agriculture indicate that al
though larger acreage Of staple
farm products was planted during
the current year there will be a
lower crop production than in 1918.
Despite the claim of capital that
labor was either unwilling to work
on the farm or that by reason Of
such lack Of labor there exists u
shortage OF food staples, the crop
reports of the Department of Agr1-
culture show that natural causes
due to food. drought and plant dis
ease are the responsible agents for
the decrease in production.
Corn, wheat. oats. barley. rye,
rice and potatoes are perhaps tho
most representative and staple Of
all farm products. In the acreage
devoted to their production and the
yield per acre of such area may be
crease as representative OF agri-
cultural conditions generally.
During 1918. 232,190.770 acres
these seven staples.
MS year saw % 9 10 'OUy dCI IS
in seed to the above crops. This
represents an increase IN cultivated
area of 5,@46.53O acres.
The total yield in 1918, the last
year of the great war. in the prod
UCts on which these figures are
based. was approximately 5.S4, 0Oo,-
900 bushels. In justice to any COM
parison which may be made. how
ever. it must be stated that the
year 1918 was one OF the most pro-
ductive years in the history Of the
nation.
