“Saturated soils are bringing the

Dr. Bart Drees, Texas imported fire
ant coordinatyfik..,.^
g|r Soon, the ahtk wnT begin to forage
heavily to prepare for winter.
“This happens almost every year
in Texas, “Barr said. “It’s not likely
they will be eating us alive, but there
isn’t anything to do to prevent it.”
Although no method is 100 per
cent effective in controlling the
ants, Barr said, the Texas two-step
method has proven to be effective.
This method involves using a two-
step broadcast bait first and, after
two weeks, individually treating the
mounds that do arise with a local
granule, bait or dust insecticide.
The broadcast bait should be used
once or twice a year.
“There are more problems that
can happen in the spring,” Barr said.
“To control the possibility of an ex
plosion of fire ants in the spring, do
something about it now by putting
broadcast baits out now.”
As for the present, the increase
in population is normal: few crops
will suffer from the ants. Pecan
crops are one of the only primary
concerns for farmers, although fire
ants have been known to kill small
animals, including quail, lizards,
birds and calves. Treating now for
ants can be very effective since they
are already active from the heat and
drought.

A future land use scheme and a-
plan to assist the Bryan City Coun
cil have yet to be amended and re
done. The proposal has been rec
ommended for approval by Bryan’s
Planning Zone and Commissions
Committee.
“To approve this kind of bill, the
application needs to go through two
city council meetings,” said Brett
Estes, assistant city planner for Bryan.
“Retail and com
mercial [lots]
would be good for
this area. Citizens
can just get off the
freeway and have
easy access to it.”
— joey Dunn
Bryan planning administrator
This area was originally intended
to be a low-density residential zone.
After land-area analysis, Estes said,
it was obvious the area would be in
efficiently used for homes.
Existing homes lie at the west
side of the intersection, with a con
venience store on one side and va
cant agricultural land on the east
corner. The re-zoning plan empha
sizes development of the southeast
and northeast corners on both sides
of Woodville. The area’s agriculture
zone permits only single-family
residences and agricultural usage.
Estes said he would like to see a
gas station or perhaps restaurants
come up in this area. Ultimately, it
would be the developer’s decision.
“The fact that this area is located
on a bypass is definitely positive.
Many individuals have shown an in
terest in this area, but no develop
ment is known to start immediately,
to our knowledge,” Estes said.
Another large residential area
lacking commercial development
lies across Highway 6. Dunn said
more businesses and retail stores
would better serve the Bryan-College
Station community.
“Retail and commercial [lots]
would be good for this area,” Dunn
said. “Citizens can just get off the
freeway and have easy access to it.”
Dunn explained that planning is
up to the developer, and that he has
not seen any site plans yet; land
scaping and parking standards must
first be met.
