Extract from a letter from Major Waller, October 7, 1929 
 
 
 
 
 
 
           I am in receipt of two letters from Henry Davis 
dated October 1st, in one of which he goes into some length 
in explaining the field trial grounds at Yates Center, Kansas; 
this iu the Mid-Continental Field Trial Association. 
 
          Davis states that he was present at a running on 
these grounds on chickens, and that points on quail were dis- 
regarded. I will quote one paragraph from this letter which 
seems to be extremely interesting. "While the trials were run 
on chickens and but little valpe attached to a point on quail, 
it was a revelation to me to see a number of covies of quail 
ranging along side of covies of chicken and while none were 
flushed at the same time, several covies of each were found not 
over 200 yards apart and on the o.c-n prairie probably a mile 
away from any considerable amount of cover."
