CHAPTER XVIII 



PLANTING DISTANCES 



THE table at the head of this chapter will be found service- 

 able as a ready reckoner in calculating the number of trees 

 per acre at any of the given distances from each other. Thus, 

 for example, 14 feet by 14 feet a very common distance in the 

 Federated Malay States will be found to give 222 trees to the 

 acre, while 20 feet by 20 feet a distance which has recently 

 come into favour gives 108 trees to the acre.
