To estimate the number of plants required for an acre, at auj' given distance, mul- 
tiply 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 (43,500) by this number. The quotient will be the number of plants 
required.
