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.
