Mr. Francis Gillanders

Mr. Francis Gillanders is the Officer in charge of the general work of the Momahaki Experimental Station. He looks after the stock, directs the agricultural operations, and acts generally as overseer of the estate. He has had considerable experience in pastoral and agricultural pursuits, and was appointed to the position he holds about two-and-a-half years ago, some two months after arriving in New Zealand. Born in 1857 in Aberdeen, Scotland, Mr. Gillanders was educated in the Old World, and was brought up to farming by his father, subsequently acting as manager on several estates before leaving for the Colony.
