Enroute to the farm of Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Ruff and daughter, Margaret, in the Bethel commun ity, we discussed with M. H. Lynn and A. D. Boggs whether Cornwallis actually named the county as some say he did. It’s either fact or fiction that Cornwallis looked upon the fields and exclaimed, “My, what fair fields,” and the county was sub sequently named Fairfield. This legend grew out of the British Chief’s visit to Win ns boro during the Revolution. It was hardly a social call, however. He brought a large part of the British army with him. They spent an entire Row crops have declined In Fairfield,' following the trend in most Piedmont region’ counties Pastures are-now appearing on many of the old fields, however. They may be prettier than ear lier fields of cotton, corn, and grain. We wanted to observe whether livestock farming was practical as well as pretty. Miss Margaret Ruff is a,gen teel lady farmer who works in t h e Agricultural Conservation Service office In Win ns boro dur ing the day. But she can drive a tractor with the best. About 1957, she decided to grow beef cattle.We were disappointed' to find she was not home. But her father walked us out to the corral where 20 Angus were feeding. He filled In the details. “Margaret started her basic herd six years ago with one cow, a bull, and one heifer. The cattle you see are largely the increase from this small start. “She grows all the. feed on the place. We have a total of 75 acres. Of this amount, 24 acres is in common Bermuda and Dallas grass. We also plant 27 acres of small grain from which we get some grazing,” Ruff said. Miss Margaret’s herd is a reg istered one and would be valued higher than a commercial herd. She now has 10 mature brood cows and a good bull. Calves ac count for the remainder. Is this kind of operation practical on a small farm? We didn’t want to prly into our host’s private business affairs. But we did make a layman’s appraisal that the herd could be valued at four thousand dollars or more. A modest initial invest ment, pasture, hay, soma care, and time for the increase had ap parently worked for her. ' A Fairfield livestock commit tee headed by Lynn is now con tacting owners of idle land urg ing them to put their land to pro ductive use. Raising beef cattle ia one of the programs offered. L. B. Massey, Piedmont dis trict extension agent, Clemson, visited the Ruff farm with us. He is keenly interested ih finding suitable use for Piedmont land which no .longer grows row crops. Such operations as Miss Margaret’s, he fe$ls, is one an swer. “A number of our counties— Oconee, Green vile, Laurens, Un ion—to mention a few, are now rapidly developing beef cattle farms. In the very near future, all 15 counties in this district will have active programs going. “If a person is a successful farmer, or a successful business man for that matter, he may be a potential livestock farmer. We don’t want anyone to suffer from lack of Information. If they hay* the land, the will, and the initial investment, we’ll help teach the sktls.’” IF YOU DON’T.
