Nationally- known writers were singled out by name and addressed in tibe first person wherever the Foripn felt that a bent for sensationalism had resulted in flagrant misrepresentation. To a pair o f widely‘ knewn 'Washington column­ ists who had.written “ For 12 .long, dreary, heartbreaking ycjsra the people o f North Dakota have been on government relief,” the Forum point­ ed out that in the past 12 years the cash income o f North Dakota farm­ ers has )>cen $2,000,000,000 o r an average o f $25,00 per farm. The letter waxed satirical in the Liberty fame, stated: “ The Fargo Forum is deserving o f the highest prates for revealing the true story of North Dakota- The ex­ pose will go a long way toward driv­ ing home to easterners the fact that North Dakota isn’t on its last Jogs and being kept alive only by relief funds.
