To estimate the number of plants required for an acre, at any given distance, multiply the 
distance between the rows by the distance between the plants, which will give the number of 
square feet allotted to each plant, and divide the number of square feet in an acre (43,560) by this 
number. The quotient will be the number of plants required.
