368 - 1950 Belgian Review
a Magazine
Contents:
Horses images, text, advertisements and professional advice regarding the breed
Belgians.
0-56 pages
NOTES:
-Pages within the pamphlets may be out of sequence because of the scanning
process.
-Numbering on these pages may inclu de the date and sequence within each
pamphlet.
The original materials used in this project were from the FWB Fred Wesley
Brown Collection. Some documents were photocopied before they were scanned
into the PDF document and those will be available in print format. The originals
may exist either in the FWB collection or at the Western Kenosha County
Historical Society- depending on family decisions at a later date. These
materials were contributed because the family wished that the history that they
and their families have experienced can be saved for the future generations.
Some "published" documents were dismantled in order to provide a 1:1 scan of
the original item rather than a scan of a photocopy. The decision to do this was
made because the INFORMATION was more important than the media that was
used to present the information . Naturally, singular ORIGINAL DOCUMENTS
were not destroyed.
Researchers should also refer to the Valentine Digital archives which may at the
SALEM COMMUNITY LIBRARY for more images in th is collection or digital
images of items that may relate to this booklet or related to the topic.

COVER PAGE PICTURE
Th e pictu re re produced on the cover page of th is Belgian Review is
made from a painti ng by G eo rge Fo rd Mo rris, an artist who has won
world-wide re no wn by his paint ings and sketches of horses of all b reeds.
This ~ain tin g, mad e mo re than 30 yea rs ago, dep icts a scene on a horse
b reeding far m in Belgium. In fhe backg round of the courtya rd , which is
su rrounded by d wellinqs and stables, are seen severa l ma r es a nd a foal.
The origi na l pa inting hangs in the home office of the Belgian Draft
Horse Corporat ion at W a bash, Ind iana . It was copyri ghted in 1916 and
serves as the official insignid of th is corpo ration. Our Belgian horsemen
have bec ome familia r with it from its appea ra nce on the certificates of
reg istry an d tra nsfer a nd on the o fficia l letter heads of the c orpo ration.

show of the season. Thirty-five exhibitors competed for a
total of $7,-500 in prizes. Glenn Sonner of Delaware,

Belgians at Waterloo
T he 28th annual National Belgian Show, held at
Waterloo, Iowa, October 4 to 9, 1949, in connection with
the National Dairy Cattle Congress, brought out an exhibit of 126 fine draft horses, comprised of 89 purebreds
and 37 geldings. They represented the ownership of
25 ex h ibitors from 6 states.
The judge of this fine show of sorrels and roans
was Clifford Eller, Belgian breeder of Arcadia, Indiana,
who h ad also judged the 1948 National Show. For his
grand champion stallion he chose the 9-year-old proved
sire and veteran of the show r ing, Jan Farceur, owned
by W ater Cress Stock Far m of Northville, Michigan.
In r eserve grand champion position he placed the
6-year-old Jay Farceur II, owned by C. 0. House, Arcadia, Indiana. Mr. House also showed the junior chamoion stallion and the reserve junior champion mare,
Lisa Farceur.
S urely, the breeder of the grand cha·:np ion mare
chose the right name for her when he registered her
as a colt. The 4-year-old Victory came through to win
the honor for the third successive year at this show.
She was bred at the Rolling Rock Farms of Richard K.
Mellon at Ligonier, Penna. But all credit for the fittinP"
and showing of this grand mare must go to the present
owners, W . G . Harkness and Son of Sandusky, Ohio,
wh o ha ve owned her since she turned 2-yea:r-old.
In res erve position the judge _placed Nora. May, the
top of the strong class of 16 mares, 5-:vear-olds · and
over. Nor a May was bred and is owned by Mrs. A. G.
W ilson , Meadow Brook Farms. Rochester, Michigan.
Meadow Brook also showed the r eserve junior champion
stallion and w on champion gelding award for the third
consecutive year on the veteran Firestone, who has also
been t hree times straight t he chamoion over all breeds
at the Interna tional. Meadow Brook also won junior
champion mar e award on the 2-year-old Linda, a halfsister of Nora May.

New Wor ld Record Made at Hillsdale
Story of the 1949 National Horse Pulling Contest
By H. F. Moxley
Michigan State College. East Lansing
The finest field of pulling teams ever to meet in any
pulling contests c<?mpeted at the National Hor se P ulling
Contest held at H illsdale, October 11 and 12, 1949. One
hundred and twelve teams from eleven states and Can ada made up this outstanding field of teams which com peted for a purse of $5 000.
'
Sixty-eight lightweight teams from eight states and
Canada made up the field of teams weighing under 3000
pounds. E leven teams from five stat es pulled a load of
3200 the full dist an ce of 27 ';1! fee t and went to a load of
3400 to place on dist an ce. A lightweight pair of Belgian geldings weighin g 2995, own ed by Earl Ruby and
Sons, E aton, Ohio, w on the contest by pulling a 3400pound load a distance of 23 feet and 3 inches. This pa ir
had won many contests in O hio and Indiana during the
1949 season and had won at three major machine con tests in Michigan just prior to the National Contest.
Joe Griffin, Galveston, Indiana, was second and
only three inches behind the winners with a good p air
of sorrel geldings weighing 2990.
The World Champion lightweights, a pair of P ercherons owned by Charles Roehl and Sons, Smith Creek,
Michigan, were third and only a foot and three in ches
behind the winning pair. This pair, since setting the
present World Record of 3550 late in 1948 had been d efeated but twice and never stood lower than second in
the many contests in which they have competed.
These three great lightweight teams had placed
among the top seve n teams at the 1948 National on a

placed seventh in the contest.

Although most plowing matches in this country
have been converted 100 percent to tractor competit ion ,
a nqteworthy exception is th e annual match sponsored
by t,he Intern ational Plowing Association of Whatcom

This trio now joins with the Lynden Chamber of Commerce in presenting a handsome cup to the champion

Draw ing plowmen from the United States and
Canada, this match provides co:npetition in horse-drawn
plows with separate classes for adults, boys, girls, Canadians and b usines men. E ntries in the last named class
in 1949 included the mayors of Bellingham and Lynden.
The association has published an attractive illustrat ed

THE
BELGIA N
REVIEW
Editorially Speaking BELGIANS AT THE HALF CENTURY
This 1950 Belgian Review is the twentieth Review
published by this association, of which twelve have been
edited by the present secret ary. It IS principally a review of the activities of our Belgian breeders during
1949, with the reports of the first 2 shows of 1950 and a
hist orical record of the great National Show at
Bruxelles.
This edition car nes 52 advertisements of Belgian
breeders as compared to 45 in the 1949 Review. How
does it compare with the first Belgian Review? Well,
that was the 1925 edition. It contained advertisements
of 41 breeders. Obviously we do not claim that our
asSO(:iation is doing more business now than it did 25
years ago. We are proud to point out that more small,.
bree.d ers are supporting the Review than was true a
quarter century ago. Several of our advertisers in this
issue do not h ave any horses for sale. They just want
to help in the support of our annual p ublication. Many
others have on ly a few horses for sale. But our active
breeders are whole hearted in their loyalty to their
breed and their registr y association. ·
The first Review carries the report of business for
the year 1924, in whkh 780 applications for registry and
1,113 applications for transfer were received, as compar.e d to 300 registries and 536 transfers during 1949.
T he y ear 1924 was the low point after World W ar I.
F rom then on the registries and transfers climbed, with
only a siight set back during the depression years of
1930-32, until the record high was reached in 1937, when
3,196 r egistries and 4,510 transfers were received.
The late Fred Holbert, then p resident of the Belgian
Assoc iation, writing in the 1925 Review, stated that tractors ·had already displaced 600,000 horses on American
farms. He warned against the increasing grain sur·plus
which would result if t hat trend continued.
The year 1950 will be known, among other things,
as tl:le "year of t he Census", a nd when the calculating
macl;lines at the Nation's Capital have finished adding
and subtracting, most of our publications will call attention to the tremendous decrease of farm horses and
mules, and hail the corresponding increase of tractor
power as further proof of our great progress.
Yet as more good farm horses move t o the slaughter
plan_ts and more rarm workers .m ove to town, the same
publ_ications talk of the baffling problem of surplus !arw
prod_ucts, and farmers in increasing number turn t o the
.r'ederal government for guaranteed s upports, w1th their
accompanying government controls.
But in spite of this decreased use of horses on farms
we may soon be faced w ith a shortage of replacement
stock tor those farmers who still do all their farming
with horses and those who use a team or two f or supplementing their t ractor power. Take the case of the North
Dakota cattleman who writes us, ''We use quite a few
teams of Belgian horses in the winter time up here in
haul_ing hay to our cattle. They are indispensable, in our
opinion, for that purpose".
The need for t op young horses for the show strings
of those breeders who are maintaining the middle western Belgian shows at such a fine level, will also require
more colts. Not nearly enough colts are being raised
to supply even these limited needs.
This is no.t .the .team which hauled Borax out of Death
Valley. This bite}; of 20 sturdy mules has been a feature
attraction at the Lancaster County Fair at West Lamp·
peter, Pennsylvania. The driver is Robert R. Good ,
Rohrerstown, P e nna. H e owns .the lead pair, .the second -oair a.nd .the wheelers. The other mules are owned
by a· number of Lancast er Count y farmers.
Mr. Good drives the leaders w ith a single line and rides
the ;near wheel mule. The leaders are trained .to :turn
left at the command " Haw" and right on " Gee". This
skilled driver cuts a figur e 8 left a nd right on a tract of
one half acre. The picture was sent to us by Elmer
Lap~:;>, Kinzer, Penn a.
TWO SHOWS RESTORE CLASSES
We have been advis ed b y Mr. Fred H. Bixby, a
director of the State Agricultural Society of California,
that the 1950 California State Fair at S acramento will
offer a total of $10,000 in premiums to the exhibitors of
the following draft breeds: Belgian, Clydesdale, Per·
cheron and Shire . The money will be allotted equally
- $~,500 to each breed.
The restoration of these draft horse b reeding classes, which have been absent at California since World
War 11, will provide an excellent place for Belgian
breeders of the P acific Coast states t o present their
hors.es to the public. The fair will be held from September 1st to lOth . We urge our western Belgian breeders to start early preparation for the California show.
We were assured by Henry Whit e, former manager
of the Illinois State Fair, that the premium list for the
1950 Illinois Belgian division would be increased to
$2,216, making it equal to the P ercheron classi.fication,
and Providing for a class of mares 5 years old and over.
with 7 prizes.
We are sure that Mr. Elliott, who has recently been
appointed general manager of t he Illinois State F air,
will carry out the promise made by Mr. W hite to the
Belgian horsemen of that state.

CHA"1PIO N GELDING AT 1949 ALL-IOWA FAIR AT CEDAR RAP IDS,A BELGIAN OWNED BY ROY TOMPK INS , WYOM ING , IOWA.
Within 3 counties of easte rn Iowa are a group of draft horse shows that
have .become noted fo r the number and quality of Belgians and fo r the
spirited competitio n among the exh ibitors, aU of whom are farr.1ers from
that area a nd many are cattl e f eeders who use good teams in their feedlots.
The 1949 season brought o ut some outstanding exhibits at these shows.
Starting with the Linn County Fair at Central City on August 7, George
S igwalt of Lytton, Iowa, judged a show of 85 draft horses, all but 6 of which
were Belgia ns. The champion geld ing was a 6-year-old chest nut owned by
Lloyd Chesmore, Mech a nicsvill e . The champion mare, a lso a 6-year-old,
was owned by C a rSon Moffit o f C laren ce . The class of heavy ge ld ings
brought out 34 he a d.
The All-Iowa Fa ir at Ceda r Rap ids held its draft horse show on August 22.
Prof. A. L. Harvey of St. Pa ul, Minnesota, had a fu ll day's work judging
100 head of drafters in 22 classes. The hitch classes were spectacular, with
25 pa irs, four 4-horSe hitches and four 6-horse hitches · competing. Clay
McMain and Son s of Delma r won the championship mare award . Lloyd
Chesmore ha d rese rve c hampion mare·. Roy Tompkins of Wyoming showed
the champion gelding. Ffsher and Sons of Mechanicsville won reserve
champion on a yea rl ing geld ing .
Next came th e fifteenth a nual Wyoming show on August 26, where Peter
Templeton of Evansv ille, Wisconsi n, made the official placings on 110 head,
again most of them bei ng Belgians. H is choice fo r grand champion of the
show was the winne r of the class fo r geldings 4·yea rs-old and over, weighing
over 1,850. This wa s a Belgian owned by S. R. Rob inson of Mechanicsville.
The junior champion of the show was a 3-year-o ld geld in g ow ned by Harry
Wendell of Atkins.
Final show of the g rou p was the 40th a nnual event at Stanwood o n September 7. Here Guy Rou th of Maco n, Illinois, was the judge and 75 drafte es
were paraded before him. Carson Moffit of Clar ence won champ ion mare
awa rd . lou:s Bure s h of Oxford Juncti on won champion gelding on his
heavyweight class winn er. Clay McMain won the class of 4 horses ab reast
o n a line , owned a nd led by one exhibitor.

a pair of brood 11}ares purchased from F r ank Toney of
Liberty, Indiana. He added other mares from wellknown herds in Ohio and Michigan and in 1946 he purchas.e d the stallion Siehl's Tripsee Farceur from George
H. Lute of Hobart, Indiana. This horse had been grand
champion of th€ 1946 Indiana State Stallion Show and
repeated that winning in 1947. He was reserve grand
champion in 1948 and '49 at that show and also at the
International. The colts which he sired at Tawa Farm
are now doing well in the show ring.

Well Trained Belgians
At the left is the three-horse hitch owned by
Horry V. Heck and Walter E. McClel land , North
Henderso n, Illinois, standing before the ni ght
;how audie nce at the 1949 DuQuoi n State Fair
;tt DuQuoin , Ill inois, as the judge approaches to
make his appraisa l of this popular sorrel trio
:>f Belgian geldings. Known as the uUnicorn
Yitch 11 , this class has become quite popular at a
'lumber of county fa ! rs in Illin o is.
This partnership also exhibited in pairs , fourhorse and six-horse hitches. Harry Heck is the
driver. He showed these Belgians at six fairs in
1949 and reports that he won first in all hitches
.xcept at the Illinois Stale Fair. There he won
th ird in the si x-horse-hitch competition and sec~nd in the light pairs, heavy pairs and 4-ho rse
hitch classes. Heck & McClelland have recently
;old 5 of·their fine geldings to James Morgan ,
roulon, Illinois .
Above we see the team of 6 Belgians owned and driven by H. C . So re nsen
-of Goldfield, Iowa, turning over sod with a two-bottom , ga ng plow. Mr.
Sorenson has had a life-time experience in raising and handl ing draft
horses. Whan his tractor wore out several yea rs ago he decided to retu r n
to farming entirely with horses for his field power. He finds t he multiple
llitch of 6 good Belgians gives satfsfactory power for plowin g. He reports
that many cars stop alo~g state highway 60 which borders his farm to watch
his outfit at work.
The picture abo ve, taken on the racetrack of the Michigan State Fair
Grounds during the night performance in front ol the g ra ndsta nd , is th e
hitch of pureb red Belgians owned by Water C res Sto ck Fa rms of No rthv ille_ Mich igan. Don Mcl<arns, superintendent of Wate r C ress, is t liedriv er.
His assistant is Kenneth Nob le , also on the Wate r C ress staff . This hitch
won first at th e 1949 Mich igan Centennial State Fair a nd th ird at the '49
American Belgia n Show. The leaders and wheelers were sired by Jan
Forceur. The swi ng team were sired by Elgant du Marais II 21380. All
we re bred and ra ised on Water Cress Farms. The new harness which
so rre ls ca rry so pro ud ly was made in Canada , with chrome-plated hardware
and t rim mi ng s im po rted f rom England.

This picture of Hvwdy Resque was taken
in August, 1949, when he was 6 years old.
He was bred on our farm and is a double
grandson of the noted Oakdale Farm sire,
Farceur's Resque. He is a son of our
champion mare, Marguerite Farceur, and
a grandson of another champion mare.
Bertha de Moorseele.

same awards at those shows in 1948. At the age o [ 3 and 4 he had won grand champion award at
Ind iana State Stallion Shows of 1946 and 1947.
Ill

His colts have done well for us in the show ring. He sired Tawa Farceur 28604 (now owned by Chas.
B. Orndorff of W aynesburg, Pennsylvania) which won second in the strong stallion futurity class

Identification of Pictures on Page 23.
No. 1, (at top of column). This is a picture of th(!
late E. G. Stinson, of Orange, Californja, driving his
famous hitch of 16 Belgians on the race track of a California fairground. Mr. Stinson's business was grOIWing
oranges but his hobby was showing Belgians and he was
famous up and down the Pacific coast during the thirties
for his skillful exhibition of this u nusual hitch. He
drove them one year in the hippodrome of the National
Belgian show at Waterloo and in the amphitheatre of
the American Royal at Kansas City. (Photo by Frashers,
Pomona, Calif.)
No. 2, (second from top). This is a scene at the
Wabash Colt Show at Wabash, Indiana. The automobiles m the background will help you guess the approximate year. At least it was prior to the advent of the
late Mr. Ford's Model A, and during the time when the
annual fall exhibit of the Wabash County Draft Horse
Association attracted visi·tors from far and wide to th~
home city of your registry association. (Photo by J. C.
Allen & Son, Lafayette, Indiana).
No. 3, (Second from bottom). In 1935 a young In·
diana farmer showed a 2-year-old mare of his own
raising to junior and reserve grand championship at the
International. National, and to grand championship at
the Indiana State Fair, also winning the Hynderick Cup.
In 1936 he won grand champion award on the same
mare at the National Belgian S how and at the Ohio.
Indiana and Illinois State Fairs. The man was Clif.ford
Eller of Arcadia, Ind. The mare was J eannine 15798.
In this picture we see Mr. Eller accompanied by
Mrs. Eller, Lee and Bonnie, driving Bonnie Camille (on
off side), the dam of Jeannine, at the age of 5, and Gaynelle de Hollain, a 3-year-old half-sister of Bonnie
Camille. The photo was taken by J. C. Allen & Son in
1935, when this pair won 1st prize in purebred team
class at National B elgian Show, with Bonnie Camille
also winning 2nd prJZe in aJted mare class and reserve
senior champion. and Gaynelle de Hollain winning 2ml
prize in 3-year-old class.
No. 4, (at bottom of column). On a recent visit to
the photo studio of J . C. Allen & Son on the campus of
Purdue·· University in West Lafayette, Indiana, we found
this p1cture of the famous Farceur 7332. It was a new
Picture for us and we think it will be for most of our
readers.
John Allen took this p icture of t he famous sire m
1919 when he and Prof. Carl Gobble visited Oakdale
Far m at Ogden, Iowa.
Farceur was imported as a 2-year-old by Wm.
Crownover of Hudson, Iowa. He was grand ch ampion
at the 1913 International and in 1915 was champion
over all breeds at the World's Fair at San Francisco. At
the dispersal sale of the Crownover stud in 1917, C. G.
Good of Odgen, Iowa, purchased Farceur for $47,500,
the highest price ever paid for a draft horse in the
United States. He died on December 25, 1921, and was
buried beneath the box stall which had been his home
for 4 years. Grant a nd L ester Good will point out that
stall to visitors at Oakdale today and reminisce with
pride on the accomplish'ments o.f the d escendants of the
old horse.
Farceur's son s won two grand championships and
his daughters won 5 grand championships at the International. His sons won 6 grand cha.rnpionships and his
daughters won 4 grand championships at the National
Belgian Show. The grand champion stallions at 7 of
the last 8 Internationals are direct descendants of old
F arceur.
