The seeds OF some hardy an
nuals, such as portulaca, Califor-
mia poppy and common petunia.
should not be sown until Just
before the ground freezes. 9th
ers, such as the larkspur, nigela
and ragged robin, are hardy
enough to germinate and grow
without protection and may be
sown much earlier than those
which lie dormant until early
spring.
Even though the recent rains
have delayed bulb planting, this
need not bring concern. While
all will agree that they should 60
into the ground as quickly as
possible after their arrival, plant

dutch Bulb Hearing
To Be Attended by

restrictions by the Department OF
Agriculture of imports Of foreign
nursery stock and bulbs. The hear
ing will be held In the auditorium

partment of Agriculture. They will
begin at 10 am.
Holland has sent DR.. C.. J. Brieier

known phytopathologists, to testify
to the high standards of disease and
pest control maintained by that
country. H. c. Dekens will repre-
sent the Plant Exporters Associa-
ton of the Netherlands and repre-
sentatives of the growers OF the
famous Dutch bulbs will attend.
Bulbs are Hollands largest item
Of export to the United States. In
l947 this totaled 100000. The
money serves as a source Of dollars
with which to pay for the much
larger volume of imports Of Amer

When Miss Lillian Washington
MILAN retired after "A years as a
Fairfax County school teacher. she
had no intention Of quitting work
She merely shifted all Of her energy
to running the 200-acre farm that
has been in her family since before
the Civil War.
Miss MILAN, positive-spoken
women of II, has been a successful
farmer for more than 40 years. She
may not use all of the modern
eouipment that farmers like these
days. but she manages to keep her
land producing-and to show a
profit.
From, IA rambling, white house that
overlooks her pastures and wood
lands, Miss MILAN directs her farm
program. Now off the highway that
leads from Fairfax to Warrenton
the MILAN farm once stood in the
paths of the opposing armies of the
North and South, and the battle Of
Chantilly was fought across the
bluegrass pastures that now provide
pasture for herd of Guernseys.
Miss Millan's house once served
as headquarters for Gen. J. E. B
Stuart, the dashing Southern cav
airy leader, and her farmer. B. B
johnson, still picks up spent musket
balls from the fields.
Feeds Skim Milk to Hogs.
The main stay Of the MILAN farm
is the 2O-head herd Of Guernsey
COWS and Is hogs kept throughout
the year as breeding stock. She
follows a three-year rotation sys-
tenn, going from corn to small grains
and then to hay.
Unlike most Northern Virginia
dairymen, she does not sell fluid
milk on the Washington market.
Her milk is separated, the cream
going to a Washington creamery,
Evening star., 1947-11-16
Woman, It, Runs Historic Farm
Once Rode Horseback to Teach School;
Drives Car to Make Deliveries

and the skim milk going to the
hogs and the farm poultry flock.
Miss MILAN finds this a sound
program for the small herd, since 1t
enables the maximum use to be
made of farm by-products.
She usually sells off her pig crop
when the pigs are six weeks old.
Thus she has to count only on year
around feed for her herd of breed
ing animals.
This year, however, she will feed
about a dozen pigs for sale as fat
hogs in the spring An unusually
good corn crop this year Is partially
responsible for this.
Drives Her Own Car.
Land fertility is not much Of a
problem when you combine live
stock and general farming" she said
I'VE apply lime when needed ano
usually dress our fields for small
grains with 200 pounds Of fertilizer
to the acre. After this fertilization
we grow our corn with nothing but
top dressing of manure"
While Miss MILAN is dependent on
Mr.. johnson for the actual farming
operations, she drives her own car
in making deliveries of eggs, cream
and butter to special customers In
nearby Fairfax.
Got tired of having to depend
on some one to drive me, so started
driving myself, back in 1920 she
said. when I taught school ]
travelled horseback, by buggy, on a
bicycle, and finally by automobile
I have Just about exhausted all
means of transportation but the
airplane. I may take to that when
landing fields get more plentiful"
Modest about her products, she
