CROP REPORI IS
 NOT FAVORABLE Hot, Dry Weather Had Bad
 Effect YIELD BELOW NORMAL Feedstuffs, Oats and Hay Are Worst Affected, and Corn Is
 Per Cent Below
 the Average

Washington, July 10.-"Hot, dry weather and drought, have played havoc with the crop conditions during the last month,' ' was the statement made today by Prof. N. c. Murray, acting chief of the crop reporting board of the department of agriculture after the announcement of the July report on grain and produce.
 'The report said Professor Murray, ''reflects the serious effects of the portant crops showing a condition at present which indicates a yield below that of last year and below recent av- craze yields of production.
 The feed-stuffs, oats and hay. seem to have been the hardest hit. Less than two-thirds of normal crop of hay is expected and the oats crop probably will be more than 25 per cent less than last years crop and about 12 per cent less than the average for the last five years.
 '"rhe corn acreage is the largest ever recorded, but the condition of the cror is about seven per cent below the aver age. That indicates a production of ap- proximately per cent less than last years record crop, but nearly , per cent more than the average production dur ing the last five years. The condition of the corn crop on July l, however, was critical
 'The crop promises to be unusually short The acreage has fallen off and the condition of the crop now is lower

EUFAULA COUNCIL
 ORDERS LIGHTPLANT

Eufaula, July 10-(SpeciaD-The city council at a recent sitting settled the matter of erecting municipal lighting plant and determined to invest the sum of $5O000, to be applied in that direction. The location Is yet to be determined. The councilmen are uncertain as to whethey it would be more expedient to build in close proximity to the water works, two miles away or near the line of the rail- road on the site occupied by the lately burned plant near the city. DetaGs per- taining to the finances are now being negotiated and other affairs looked after, upon the conclusion of which it is ex- pected that work will begin and be pushed to completion as speedily as pos namo has been installed that is giving fair satisfaction.
 The Amus-U theatre on Broad street caught fire Saturday night and the ma chinery which operated moving pictures was damaged to the extent of $50, with out insurance. The origin of the fire was caused by stopping the reel too long, causing the film to ignite and the fire department had to be called. The recent installment of fire escapes prevented a stampede among the audience and the flames were quickly extinguished.
 An unusual down-pour of rain fell here Saturday about noon which was regard ed as the heaviest ever known for the period of time which lasteded about two hours. Colby steet was entirely inun- dated and the residence premises were covered to depth of 12 to 15 inches-
