James F. Short

edit
Sources: Two sources combine to cover this hook. In 10 March 1960 Capitol Journal article (p. 1), it says: "Short who was state agriculture director under two governors, Paul Patterson and Elmo Smith, is going to take over the position again. … He was appointed by Gov Mark Hatfield on Wednesday…" Second source is from 17 January 1957 Bend Bulletin article (p. 1.), it says: "…Gov Robert D. Holmes named Rep R. J Steward … as director of the State Agriculture Department. … Steward … will not take over the agriculture post until the current legislative session ends. Until then James F. Short has agreed to continue as agriculture director. …" So Short served under Gov’s Patterson, Smith, Holmes, and Hatfield.

  • Long enough, new enough. Hook cited; AGF source. Non-free image seems to have an appropriate fair use rationale. QPQ done. Rest of the article looks good. Guettarda (talk) 02:06, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
