1t is significant that the Exchange propor-
ton of shipments is less when the market
is entering decline and more when the
market is advancing. Growers outside the
Exchange frequently have more than their
share of the sales when prices are low.
Exchange growers usually have bigger
percentage of total sales on higher mar
kets. Thus Exchange growers satisfactorily
receive more money.

This is not a mere coincidence The ten

CHAIRMAN ME MAKES REPLY
 TO GOV. SMITH
Counters With New Attack Says He Does Not
 Fear Any Abuse

WASHINGTON, March 23.-- Answering the letter of Coy. A. K. Smith. which condemned him for remarks about the Governor. in a recent debate in the Senate, United States Senator Gerald P. Nye, Chairman of the Senate oil Committee. has countered that Smith is giving aid and comfort to "every scoundrel whose in- fanny was exposed. ]"
 Senator Nye said this aid was through Gov Smiths seeking to undermine public confidence in the fairness and impartiality of the committee in the midst of the investigation.
 Senator Nye disclaimed any at tack on the Governor. He wrote:
 T expressly state you were not in any way involved in the oil scandals under investigation by the committee, of which 1 am chairman. You need not concern yourself in the least as to public humiliation which you state in your letter will bring down upon me. do not propose to be de- tered in the performance of my political duty by abuse or criti- cism of my work from you or any one else.
 Chairman Nye, last Monday, demanded in the Senate. that Gov. Smith be called before the oil committee.
 Senator Walsh, in a statement. said the request would be ignored flor the plain simple reason that it had no ground to believe he could shed any light upon the subjects Of the committees in- luiry."
 Senator Arthur R. Robinson, Republican of Indiana, on the Senate floor. also charged that Harry F. Sinclair had been a contributor to the New York State Democratic campaign in 1920. This brought a reply from Gov. Smith that records in the State failed to show any such contribution.
