Truth Be Told--A Bearkat is NOT a Kinkajou OR a Binturong. This is a Bearkat--It is NOT a Kinkajou or a Binturong. It is almost Homecoming 2004, in the 125th year of Sam Houston State University's existence, and a good time perhaps to clear up at least a half century of confusion about the university mascot.

Carrots, beets, parsnips, radishes, turnips, and rutabagas are the most commonly grown root crops. They all have similar cultural requirements and grow best in cool weather. Since they are hardy, they may be planted early in the spring, and left in the garden until fall.
Root rot is a disease that attacks the roots of plants growing in wet soil. Since the disease spreads through the soil, the only root rot remedy for garden plants is often to remove and destroy the plant. Keep the soil as dry as possible. Donât irrigate the plant unless the soil is almost completely dry.
