Hull Expects Year to Prove
Most Important Since
First One Was Made.
By the Associa ted Press,

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Of State Hull is arrang-
ing to devote much of 1898 to the ne
gotiation Of trade agreements. The
new year. he believes. will prove the
most important in this line since the
first such agreement was signed with
Cuba in 1894.
Negotiations for six pacts designed
to expand commerce will be in prog
ress in 1898. including those with the
United States two biggest customers,
Canada and the United Kingdom.
The State Department already has
announced 1t "contemplates" such
bargaining with those countries, and
with Venezuela and Turkey.
In addition, notice of intention to
negotiate has been given with regard
to Ecuador and Czechoslovakia. Talks
with Czechoslovakia are already we'll
along. Although some difnculty has
been encountered in negotiating tariff
reductions on Czechoslovakian manu-
factured products. particularly shoes,
conclusion Of the agreement may be
expected within 4 few months.
The high light Of the 1898 effort
will be the conversations with the
United Kingdom. The talks with
Canada. another good customer are
less important because an agreement
already exists with that country and
Is to be amplined.
The State Department has pub
lished long list OF imports and ex-
ports from and to the United King
dom to serve As . guide in selecting
the products to be included in the
bargaining. Congress has empowered
the executive branch Of the Govern
ment to reduce tariffs as much as 50
per cent in return for concessions
from foreign countries.
1t is possible that in 1898 announce
ment will be made Of resumption Of
negotiations with Italy. In 1885 the
State Department issued notice Of
intention to negotiate with that coun-
try: written statements were received
and oral hearings held; but Italy's
entrance into the Italo- -Abyssinian
War rendered the negotiate in
active.
Trade agreements have been signed
with Is countries. Cuba, Brazil, Bel
GUM, Haiti. Sweden, Colombia, Cam
ada, Honduras. the Netherlands and
| colonies. Switzerland, Nicaragua,
Guatemala. France and colonies except
Morocco. Finland, Costa Rica and n
Salvador.
Successful conclusion of the accords
scheduled for 1898 will bring the
number to II. In that event. Just
about half the foreign trade of the
United States will be covered by trade
agreements.

In statement following his elec-

The sole objective Of the National
FArm Chemurgic Council is to en-
large the income Of farmers. Agricul-
ture's sales of food products are
limited by the capacity of human
stomachs to q point far below farm
ing's capacity for production. The
Chemurgic assignment is to open as
large As possible a market, through
science and industry, for the sale
OF farm-grown materials to be manu-
factured into inedible products.
We believe this is an absolutely
sound approach to substantial in
crease in national prosperity. The
fundamental consideration, however,
Is larger farm income. Since the
farm is the primary source Of Amer

By HENRY McLEMORE
 United Press Stan Correspondent

Denver, Colo, Nov. +(UP)-I can't tell you the name of the next United States open golf champion, but can tell you, this far in ad- vanuce, the sort of game he will play. ..
 He'll be a fellow with a tee shot that's accurate rather than long the sort of hitter who is good for 240 or whereabouts in distance, but whose marksmanship leaves no whereabouts" as to where the ball will land.
 But the feature of his game that will win him the title will be his iron play. The 1898 open champion will be another Tommy Armour with the steel blades, beginning with the No. 1 and going right through to the finish.
 This isn't guesswork. I played the Cherry Hills course here, site of the next open, yesterday, along with the home professional, Harold Long, and we examined it from starting tee to home green. Harold played the fairways and I played the rough, and between the two of us we saw it all.
 It's no course for the out and out power hitter. Its 6,888 yards call wor perfect control. The 300-yard "sprayers" won't finish in the money. They might do all right on the first nine, but woe unto the wild hitter coming home. On eight of the nine last notes.-the tenth being the exception-he will find ditches ready to welcome tee and second shots that are off line.
 Cherry Hills, the first course west of Chicago to be honored with the open championship, has the small- est greens of any fine course I have ever seen. The carpets are pocket handkerchief size all the way around, and if Gene Sarazen were right when he said that big and accessible greens are the chief a1- swer to today's sensational scoring, then Cherry Hills will put the ol' damper-oo on the boys. They will find the targets out here as hard to hit as a squirrel.
 Probably the finest hole is No. IA, which, along with twelve others is having yards added to its distance. This hole requires a fairly long and perfectly placed drive. For the sec- ond, anywhere from a No. 2 iron to a brassie is necessary. The small green IS guarded on the right by a trap and on the left by a ditch, and a second shot off line by as little as five yards will catch trouble.
 Those who think that the pros will burn up Cherry Hills might talk to Horton Smith, who knows the course well, or Ky Laffoon or Jimmy Thomson. Smith thinks 285 will be good enough to win, Laffoon 284, and Thomson 283. Last June when the conrse was but 6,583 yards, the low qualifying score for
