This picture shows strawberry plants between 
the rows of young trees. It is now a general 
practice to make the land between the young 
trees produce an income. Some orchardists 
plant their permanent apple trees 40 to 60 ft. 
apart with young-bearing upright- growing vari- 
eties of apple in between. Peaches, cherries, and 
sometimes pears also make good fillers. Then in 
between the rows of fruit trees may be planted 
strawberries and bush fruits, excepting black- 
berries. Any early maturing farm crop is also 
good, but the planting should not be too close 
to the trees. The cultivation required by the 
inter-crops is just the thing for the trees.

To determine the number of trees per acre for any given distance, 
multiply the distance between the trees in the row by the width of the 
row. Take the resulting answer and divide 43,560 by it. The resulting 
ttgure will give you the number of trees per acre. 
For example: To determine the number of trees, planted 30 x 30 
required to set one acre. 30 X 30 = 900. 
43,560+900-49 trees per acre.
