P rteous, dt rec- tor of ' Statistics Canada's agriculture division,' predicted Tuesday. • He told the annual Canadian agricultural outlook conference, that the income- forecast ie3 up $1.6 billion from 1973 and more than $2- billion from 1972, both record figures. His predic- tion, , he said,. was 'based on these assumptions: . Initial_ - Canadian Wheat Board payments at 1973-74' levels; Final :Canadian- Wheat Board payment for 1973-74 wil•1--- be paid in 1974; Deferred in- come from "'grain. sales will be higher in 1974 than in 1973; 'and North American' meat .demands will remain at levels similar to those in 1973. Qn this basis, gross cash •in come should total about. $9.6 billion,, but skyrocketing farm expenses, predicted at about $5 billion-, will trim the net figure. Higher prices for most com- •':modities generated the 1973 record income of, just under $3 billion with increases in cash• receipts ranging from 21.5 per `-cent inQuebec to 68.1 per dent' in Prince Edward Island.
