The President of the Canterbury Chamber of Commerce yesterday sent the following letter to the Prime Minister : "Many small farmers are in a serious plight owing to their having fat lambs and sheep on hand wht'ch they are unable to sell or freeze owing to the congestion of the freezingworks. Swedes are offering from Southland at 30s to £2 per ton on trucks and would gladly be purchased here, bub railage makes the cost prohibitive. Could your department give any relief to the local farmers by rebating the whole or a portion of the railage to enable them to replace the winter food already consumed? ,.
