FREDERICTON. April 2 -—- (CF) ~—Canadian agriculture has been placed in a “difficult plight" as a result oi the freight rate increase granted Canadian railways. GHW. Perry (PO-Carleton) told the New Brunswick mgisbiture today.

One oi two speakers in the bud- get debate. Mr. Perry said the situation had been further aggrav- ated by the new income tax iorms issued learners. ' -

"Not only will the iermer have to pay a. much higher price ior iced because oi the new 21 per cent freight rate increase. but he will tind his fertilizer costing him more and his iarm machinery cost. ing him more," he said.

"The increases in ireight rates will also cost the potato grower from S25 to $30 a car on potatoes shipped to Montreal and Toronto.

"This is not going to please the farmer very well alter what he has just been going through on this income tax business. The iermer is the only iellolw in Call- eda who has to declare hie net worth."
