I President B. C. Mangum. key speaker during a series of four teen tobacco informational meet ings conducted by the farm or ganization, cautioned growers to seek a way to get leaf supplies in line with demand. “If we are going to hold on to our tobacco program,” the farm leader said, “we have to make production consistent with con sumption. We can't indefinitely keen on going the way we are go ing.” Mangum said the main problem facing growers today is "an over suoplv of tobacco and no place to sell it .” After the 19W sales season, the 1 inventory if the flue-cured Tobac co Cooperative tabili/ation Cor poration is expected to reach 900 million pounds of tobacco held under loan - an all-time high. The cooperative recently regis tcred a loss of $77 million as it dosed the hooks on the 1955 and 1936 crop holdings. Burley growers, too, face a pro duction and carryover which, ac cording to the forecast, will be the largest on record. “As growers.” said Mangum. "we have always been able to say that our tobacco program is sound and it works, and that it hasn’t cost the taxpavers any money. We must make sure that we have that kind of program." The Farm Bureau spokesman said the tobacco program has "enemies in congress" who would j like to use the unbalanced supply demand situation as a lever to oust the leaf crop plan. “Let’s don’t give them any more ammunition to sling back at us,” he told growers.
