RULE — Multiply the distance in feet be- 
tween the rows by the distance the plants 
are apart in the rows, and the product will be 
the number of square feet for each plant, 
which, divided into the number of square 
feet in an acre (43,500), will give the num- 
ber of plants or trees to the acre.
