Among the department’s ob jectives are enhancing employee training, implementing a pro- •gram evaluation system, and by Donna Behrend Fair time means many dif ferent things to many people. To some it means getting up at daybreak everyday for months to feed livestock, to others it means sewing, beading, or pull ing weeds until their hands are raw and sore. But to all, fair time means fun and interesting exhi bits to look at and participate in. The 1978 Jefferson County fair, which was held August 11, 12 and 13, left most participants with blue, red and white ribbons. The general feeling is that the fair was bigger and better than those in years past. Some Warm Springs exhibi tors received ribbons in the 4-H creative arts division. Rosie Polk earned a blue ribbon in inter mediate beadwork and was named champion of that divi sion. Her sister, Tina, earned a blue ribbon in the junior bead work division. Travis Wells, Michelle Wells, Sonja Bryant and Rosie Sanders all received white ribbons in the livestock judging contest. All are members of the Rockin’ 4-H live stock club. Caroline Tohet’s beautiful beadwork was the only exhibit in the Indian Arts division, winning her ten blue ribbons, three red ribbons and one special award, thus earning her the high-point gift certificate. Janna Abrenietis, who have lived in Warm Springs for 22 years, won a blue ribbon for her clever handwork and sewing of a long formal. Sid Miller, Spilyay Editor, earned a red ribbon in the adult photography division with his black and white photo of Mt. Jef ferson. The annual parade, the theme being “Indian Summer”, attracted many people again this year. It began promptly at 10 a.m. Saturday August 12 and was led by more than twenty young bicyclists who whizzed down the parade route. This year’s parade featured many vintage cars, floats, and personal appearance INDIAN SUMMER — Debbie and Becky Suppah enjoyed an early Indian Summer on the Confederated Tribes’ float entered in the Jefferson County Parade August 12. by gubernatorial candidate Vic Atiyeh and the entire North Unit Fire department.

As a general rule live- stockmen should plan for 1 ton of hay for each animal, but this will wary with each livestockmens’ situation. Before purchasing make lure the hay is closely inspected. Two situtations have lowered the feeding value of much of this years hay crop. Good moisture during last winter and spring produced a good weed crop in much of the first cutting.

There are six factors that influence hay quality and animal performance. The stage of maturity the hay was cut, leafiness, color, foreign material, and odor and condition are all important in determining top quality. Top quality hay is cut early, is leafy, has a bright green color and is free from foreign materials, mustiness or mold. A list of hay sellers and prices can be picked up at the Extension Office (old Adminis trative Building )v Also available is an excellent brochure on what to look for in evaluating hay.
