  MUSTARD CULTIVATION.
  Mr. ACLAND
  The question which my hon. Friend raises is important and will be closely examined. Mustard certainly cannot be considered a national necessity in the same sense as wheat, and farmers would, I think, be wise not to assume that the acreage which they may place under mustard, in excess at any rate of that normally grown, will be specially profitable to them next season. It must not, however, be supposed that all the mustard is grown for use as a condiment. It is also grown as a catch crop or for green manure.
