he Argyle Community Park is to be
completed in January.
It is located on the south side of
Crawford Road, west of the railroad
tracks.
The land is owned by the Argyle
Independent School District.
It has ballfields, but soon the fields
will be upgraded and more amenities will
be added, said Argyle Town Manager
Matt Jones.
Concrete trails will wander around
the edges of the park and in between
the fields.
A basketball goal and half-court will
be put in, along with a pavilion, play-
ground and volleyball sand pit.
The town received and matched a
$500,000 grant from Texas Parks &
Wildlife Department for the park and
entered into a long-term lease with Ar-
gylelSD.
“I hope the park will become a gather-
ing place for Argyle residents to enjoy”
Jones said.
spaces are available.

urrieane Harvey caused
much destruction and
suffering — for both
people and animals. Unfortu-
nately, this suffering may go on
for months to come. People lost
houses, businesses, companion
animals and livestock. They
will be in my prayers.
It made me think about their
disaster plan. Were they fortu-
nate enough to have a plan to
deal with the winds, floods and
destruction? I know, the first
casualty of any operation is the
plan; however, having a disaster
plan — even flawred — is better
than no plan at all.
Texas A&M Agrilife Exten-
sion is set up to provide agri-
culture and natural resource
strike teams into areas affected
by tornadoes, wildfires, hurri-
canes or animal disease out-
breaks. These agents have the
same training as first respond-
ers by the Department of
Homeland Security in operat-
ing in these disaster situations.
Usually these agents have a
minimum of five to 10 years of
experience and can operate in
stressful situations. This is howr
I arrived in Beaumont last
wreek as part of one of these
strike teams.
As I was packing for the trip,
I had to identify everything I
might need for the next four
days. Food, clothing, shelter,
first-aid kits, medicines, water
and tools wrere just the short list
of necessary items — items that
ers. Our team was sent to an
animal supply point in Nome
and the cattle producer there
was luck}7 enough to have high,
ground for their cows. However,
the large number of owners who
didn’t have identification for
their animals surprised me. No
pictures, no list of tag numbers,
not even descriptions of the
animals were written down. We
had in our area about 25 horses

COMMENTARY
It’s not from having a green
thumb or a site particularly con-
genial to sw7eet corn; it’s all in the
swreet corn’s genes.
Those good genes reside in
the variety Golden Bantam,
which debuted in 1902. When

to eke out the most sweetness by
developing better varieties and
shortening the time between
harvest and eating.
Golden Bantam and other tra-
ditional sweet com varieties owe
their sweetness to a single reces-
sive gene known as sugary-L
The goal of the sweetest
sweet corn wras perhaps too fully
realized with the discovery
about 50 years ago of the so-
called shrunken-2 gene of sweet
com.This recessive gene imparts
an enormous amount of sweet-
ness to com.
Argyle Police Department and each person

The Argyle Senior Organization
meets every Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday in the Community Room at
Argyle Town Hall, with exercise begin-
ning at 10 a.m. followed by card games

came from, of all things, my
disaster kit. The team of four
that I was assigned was luckier
than most. We were based out of
Ford Park and had security, a
roof, electricity, dining hall,
showrers and w7ater.
During the day, we were
located at animal supply points.
We received donations from as
far awray as Iowa and provided
hay, feed, dog and cat food to
those people that needed it for
their animals. In the evenings,
we took turns watching over
the animals in the shelter. We
had about 25 horses that wTere
unclaimed by their owners that
needed to be watered and fed.
By this time, the dogs and cats
had been transferred out of our
facility. There wTas also a goat or
two left over, but they were
being treated by the TAMU
Veterianarian Science Depart-
ment that had also mobilized.
I noticed a few items while I
was in South Texas working
with animal and livestock own-
E.L. Coy sent the Burpee Seed
Company those first 2 quarts of
Golden Bantam seed, he also
sent along a note that read, ‘You
now7 have the very sweetest and
richest corn ever known.”

302U.S. Highway 377.

will need during a disaster.
While you’re at it, figure out
how much clean water is need-
ed as w7ell.
Instead of asking, ‘What’s in
your wallet?” How7 about,
“What is in your disaster plan?”
Do you have important papers
in safe places? Do you have
enough food, water and medi-
cine put back for you and your
animals for a w7eek? Do you
have proof of identification for
your animals? No disaster plan
will ever be perfect. Should you
find yourself in a crisis, it may
help you take care of those that
matter to you the most.
If you wish to make a dona-
tion, contact the Animal Sup-
ply Point Phone Bank at 979-
845-7800. Currently they are
needing general livestock-
related items such as:
■ Feed for cattle, horses,
sheep, goats, swine, poultry and
other livestock.
■ Buckets, troughs and
other equipment for livestock
feeding and watering.
■ Hay for livestock con-
sumption.
■ Livestock panels and
gates for temporary holding
facilities.
■ Shavings and bedding
materials for animals.
Pet food also may be needed
at some of the locations.
Not all locations will need
the same items, so when people
call the phone bank, they will
try and connect them with the
location needing those items
they want to donate. We are
only equipped to accept these
donations at one of our active
animal supply points.
If you prefer to make a cash
donation toward agricultural
recovery, you can go to the
Texas Department of Agricul-
ture State of Texas Agricultural
Response (STAR) ftmd, where
agricultural producers may
apply for a matching grant for
expenditures incurred for
agricultural response, materials
or other losses. Information
and instructions on howT to
donate to the fund can be
found at http://ow.ly/
EQ6x30ePrU3.
We’re asking that items that
are not livestock-related be
donated to the American Red
Cross, the Salvation Army or
another charity of choice. But
w7e will gratefully accept those
items needed to provide food,
shelter and protection to any
livestock that have been dis-
placed. It’s going to be many
months before things in South
Texas are back to normal.

culture extension agent, with

sion. He can be reached at

Next, I discovered that there
was a large amount of hay
stored below the flood level.

Historical acclaim for
Golden Bantam
U.P. Hedrick wrote in “The
Corns of New York” (1934) that
Golden Bantam “has been for sev-
eral years the most popular sw7eet
com for all purposes. The name
has been so thoroughly impreg-
nated in the minds of growers and
consumers that many of them
will not accept anything else.”
Golden Bantam erased a pre-
vailing prejudice against yellow7
corns, which had been associat-
ed with livestock feeds.
Granted, we had record flood-
ing; howrever, it’s important to
have as much of the hay as
possible above flooding. Did
you know7 that when hay gets
wet, it can undergo spontane-
ous combustion as it dries out?
Once the temperature get over
150 degrees, the hay is on a
one-way street, going the
wrong direction. At 160 de-
grees, I recommend that you
don’t even move it unless the
fire department is on scene.
The third thing I realized is
how7 many people didn’t know7
how7 much food/feed and/or
hay it took to feed their ani-
mals for a day. I recommend
that you have some notes about
how7 much food your animals
377.
