Little Farmer's Giant Pumpkin Brian Hawkins, 13-year-old son of Ann Arbor Police Detective Capt. and Mrs. Walter V. Hawkins, had to wrestle this mammoth pumpkin onto a wheelbarrow to give News Photographer Cecil Lockard a good angle on it. Brian, a junior high school student, has raised more than 30 pumpkins in a patch on his parents' farm at 6810 N. Territorial Rd., Salem Township. But this 98-pound beauty is the largest of the lot. The teen-ager sells his pumpkins and other vegetables each year, with the funds going into a savings account for his college years.

No Pumpkin Just in case anyone doubted Harry F. Bruneau's tale of a home-grown 95-pound squash, he heaved it into his car and brought it to work with him. That's why there was a squash on display last week at the Stadium U.S. Post Office. Asked if he planned to eat his prize, the Howell gardener replied proudly "I could fed the whole town with it."

Gourds Have A Handle Almost dwarfed behind a near 100-pound squash, youthful Jimmy Salisbury reaches for a gourd he can more easily grip from his neighbor, Bertram Hilbert. At right is Hilbert's niece Mrs. George Mackmiller, who planted the pumpkin-like squash and over a dozen other kinds of vegetables in their acre garden at 1301 Pear St.

How Many Pies In This One? Colleen Amo, 10, and Scott Amo, 11, are finding out that it's a little difficult to pick pumpkins this size, much less pile them up. One of the Halloween candidates weighted 96 pounds, and several others were more than 80 pounds. The Amos, of 2511 Pontiac, Ann Arbor Township, grew the pumpkins from a hybrid seed given them by a neighbor. They should be just about the right size for a picture window.

Pick your favorite - the Farmer's Market on Detroit St. has 'em all. For eating, choose Red Delicious, MacIntosh, Snows, Jonathans or Winesaps. Try Rhode Island Greens, Northern Spys, Wagners, Baldwins and Wolfe Rivers for baking and cooking. Steel Reds are a good winter apple. Staying crisp seemingly forever, they are eatable and cookable.
