The number of plants required for an acre, at any given distance apart, may be 

 ascertained by dividing the number of square feet in an acre (43,560), by the number of 

 square feet given to each plant, which is obtained by multiplying the distance between 

 ro'ics by the distance between the plants. Thus, strawberries planted three feet by'one 

 foot, gives each plant three square feet, or 14,520 plants to the acre.
