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 di- 
vide the number of square feet in an acre (43,560) by this _ 
number. The quotient will be the number of plants re- 
quired.
