Re-Recording Of "
State Branding Irons
Now Underway
The brands division of the Miss-
issippi Livestock Theft Bureau is
currently re-recording state brand-"
ing irons, according to Commission-
er of Public Safety Tom Scarbrough.
Brands recorded prior to June 30.
1957 have now expired. A second
five-year registration period, which
began July 1, will extend tltrough
June 30, 1962.
Ay brand recorded or r,-re.cord-
"ed durng this period will l. valid
for the duration of the present
five-year registration period.
:Brands Officer B. F. Rodgtrs
states "that all present brand own-
ers were sent notices that their
brands would expire last Juno SJ;
however, many cattlemen and
farmers have failed to rc-rcco:d
their irons. Several letters wer 'b-
turned to the department witb the
notation, "MovedLef No For-
warding Address."
All brand owners who wish to I
!
keep their recorded brand current|
should notify the Departmen of
Public Safety immediately, forward-
ing to the department the reqmred
two dollar ($2.00) regis.raIon fee.
Use of a branding iron noL pro-
perly recorded with the Depart-
ment constitutes a" violation of be
law, according to Hillie Coleman.
livestock theft bureau director.
He states that numeru liw-
stock owner are brandin wi
illegal irons, despite the fac that
the present brand law went ito
effect July 1, 1952. Many of me
illegal irons were once registered
with the Secretary of Star>, b-t
were not re-recorded v/hen new leg-
islation was adopted covering
brand registration. Some have nver o
been recorded with any agency.
Not only is the practice in vio'.a,-
tion of the law. but often caures
confusion as to ownership and
makes the tracing of stolen a'-d
strayed animals extremely dilfict/It.
Every cattle owner WhO does not
have a cleare and recorde:l brand,
but who wishes to use a brand,
sh0Uld make application tc the

Re-Recording Of "
State Branding Irons
Now Underway
The brands division of the Miss-
issippi Livestock Theft Bureau is
currently re-recording state brand-"
ing irons, according to Commission-
er of Public Safety Tom Scarbrough.
Brands recorded prior to June 30.
1957 have now expired. A second
five-year registration period, which
began July 1, will extend tltrough
June 30, 1962.
Ay brand recorded or r,-re.cord-
"ed durng this period will l. valid
for the duration of the present
five-year registration period.
:Brands Officer B. F. Rodgtrs
states "that all present brand own-
ers were sent notices that their
brands would expire last Juno SJ;
however, many cattlemen and
farmers have failed to rc-rcco:d
their irons. Several letters wer 'b-
turned to the department witb the
notation, "MovedLef No For-
warding Address."
All brand owners who wish to I
!
keep their recorded brand current|
should notify the Departmen of
Public Safety immediately, forward-
ing to the department the reqmred
two dollar ($2.00) regis.raIon fee.
Use of a branding iron noL pro-
perly recorded with the Depart-
ment constitutes a" violation of be
law, according to Hillie Coleman.
livestock theft bureau director.
He states that numeru liw-
stock owner are brandin wi
illegal irons, despite the fac that
the present brand law went ito
effect July 1, 1952. Many of me
illegal irons were once registered
with the Secretary of Star>, b-t
were not re-recorded v/hen new leg-
islation was adopted covering
brand registration. Some have nver o
been recorded with any agency.
Not only is the practice in vio'.a,-
tion of the law. but often caures
confusion as to ownership and
makes the tracing of stolen a'-d
strayed animals extremely dilfict/It.
Every cattle owner WhO does not
have a cleare and recorde:l brand,
but who wishes to use a brand,
sh0Uld make application tc the
Commissioner of Public Safety, De-
partment of Public Safety, Jack-
son, Mississippi. Application lahks
may be obtained from local counly
;agent or sheriff's offices or from
