Question - How do you arrive at
the amount of in-kind support to
be charged?
The law provides that a person
living in someone elses house-
hold cannot be paid more than
two-thirds the amount -that a
person living in his own house-
hold without any support could
receive. In addition, the amount
of in-kind support which can be
charged to a person living in his
own home is limited so that he
would never be paid less than
someone not living in his own
household.

Remember that most wallpaper
is sold in double, not single,
rolls.
It is important that the first
width of paper be hung straight;
hang a plumb bob from the top
of the wall to the floor.

You will want to completely
cover the paper with paste. Since
clear paste is hard to see, try
adding a small amount of food
coloring to it. Use just enough
food coloring to tint the paste,
not enough to bleed through.
Save a small amount of leftover
paste to use on seams which may
open in a few days.
roots could suffer from lack of
oxygen. To improve drainage,
dig a trench leading away from
the bottom of the pit and fill
about two-thirds full with gravel
so the excess water can drain to a
lower area of the yard.
* Carefully place the tree in the
hole, handling only the ball.
Never carry it by the trunk.
Always remove any type con-
tainer before planting.
* Back fill around the ball using
good topsoil or a prepared mix-
ture of soil, sand and peatmoss
or pine bark. When planting a
balled-and-burlapped tree, cut
away the burlap and rope after

Question - What is meant by
in-kind support?
Generally speaking, if you
receive free what someone else in
similar circumstances would
have to pay for, then you are
receiving in-kind support. The
most common example is the
situation in which a person is
living rent-free in housing owned
by a relative. Although no cash
changes hands the person living
in the rent-free house is receiving
support and must be charged for
it in the same manner as he is
cash income.

* Do not fertilize the tree at
planting time. Rather wait until
spring after growth starts and
then fertilize only lightly. Heavy
applications of fertilizer can bum
and severly injure or even kill the
tree.
* Stake or guy the newly
planted tree to stabilize it and
protect it from wind damage
until the roots become well esta-
blished. Run guy wires through
old garden hoses before putting
them around the tree trunk.
* Wrap or protect the trunk of
the newly transplanted tree from
sunscald, drying winds, sand
storms and borer attacks.
* Water the tree thoroughly

Homeowners can paper their
own walls — and wallpaper adds
interest to any room says Sue
Young, housing and home furn-
ishings specialist with the Texas
Agricultural Extension Service,
The Texas A&M University
System.
Wallpaper comes in all prices,
and many inexpensive yet quali-
ty papers are available.
While lengths and widths vary,
a standard single roll is 36
square feet. But because there
will be some waste—for ex-
ample, in matching patterns—
figure 30 square feet as the yield
per roll.

Question - I understand that in
order to receive Supplemental
Security Income a person must
have both limited resources and
( income. Exactly what is con-
sidered income for Supplemental
Security Income purposes?
Any support a person receives
which he can expect to have
when budgeting for his own
personal needs is considered
income. This includes actual
cash as well as in-kind, or
non-cash, support.

If you longed for more shade
trees in your yard during the hot
summer just over, now is the
time to start taking some action,
says a landscape horticulturist
with the Texas Agricultural
Extension Service.
“Most folks think of spring as
the proper tree planting time,
but fall planting offers distinct
advantages,” points out Everett
Janne. “The root systems of
fall-planted trees develop and
become well established before
top growth starts in the spring.
However, use only container-
grown or balled-and-burlapped
trees for fall planting. Bare-root
trees are still not completely
dormant and should not be
planted until January and Feb-
ruary .”
Choose trees that are well
adapted to your area, empha-
sizes Janne. He cautions against
planting so-called “fast growing
trees” as most of these are brittle
and short-lived or have some
other characteristic that makes
them less than desirable for
landscape planting.
The horticulturist offers these
tree planting guidelines:
* Dig the hole large enough to
allow at least 6” clearance on all
sides. A good rule of thumb is to
make the pit 1-1/2 times
greater in diameter than the root
ball.
* Make the pit only as deep as
the root ball. This allows the root
ball to rest on undisturbed soil
and reduces settling.
* Plant the tree the same depth
as it was growing in the nursery.
The soil line can usually be seen
as a discolored ring on the trunk.
* Be sure the soil has good
internal drainage. This can be
checked by filling the hole with
water. If the water does not seep
out within a day’s time, the tree
