A Good Year For Corn Frank S. Hopka, of 1000 W. Huron, is an apartment dweller who escapes regularly to a garden he cultivates at the home of his father-in-law, Clem Belle Isle, of 11637 N. Shore Dr., Whitmore Lake. Hopka is shown here hoeing his garden, dwarfed by sweet corn which is already seven feet tall. Hopka applies dried cow manure and top soil to his garden in the spring, and waters it three times a week. He's also got a lot of tomatoes and green peppers on the way. "This is a good year for tomatoes and corn," he says. (News photo by Cecil Lockard)
