Burton's friends get a "kick out of" seeing him on television, but he gets ribbed every once in a while about a show in which he was asked how long he'd been teacher to learn the intricate steps. The kids pick them up from mom and dad. "As long as I do it for myself, I'll clog," says Burton Edwards, national clogging clogging. champion. He and his sister, Becky, 14, also is national clogging champion, are in Provo to participate in the Freedom Festival clogging festival. "He's got more steps than anyone I've ever seen," says festival organizer Dennis Cobia. "It's unbelievable." Burton and Becky have traveled the country from their home in Maggie Mountain, N.C., to per- form in clogging competitions and festivals. "We've been gone every week since Becky got out of school," Burton says, his southern drawl a little hard to understand at first. Burton Edwards "If it's close to home, we just go." They'll go anywhere if the sponsors will pay expenses, he says.

In a report released Wednesday, the department's Crop Reporting Board credited the acreage reduction effort with encouraging farmers to plant less land in corn, grain sorghum, wheat, rice and upland cotton. The agency forecast that corn farmers will harvest 52.5 million acres of corn for grain, down 28 "They (the television crew) made me hold up a pair of baby boots, and I said 'Ever since I wore these.' That kind of bothered me," he says. "It was like I happen to have them sitting there all the time." Burton and Becky are natural doggers, says Cobia. "Clogging is innate in some people," he says. Burton makes up most of the steps, then teaches them to Becky. "If I make up a step and show it to her, she just does it," says Burton. "She don't practice, and it makes me mad. She never has had to practice. percent from the 73.2 million acres harvested last year. The payment-in-kin- d program called on fanners of grains and cotton to leave large portions of land unplanted in order to help reduce the overwhelming surpluses that are blamed for pushing down the prices they receive for their crops. Farmers complied by promising to leave nearly 83 million acres of cropland idle. In return, they will receive a combination of cash and government-ownesurplus crops that they can either sell or feed to their livestock. Wednesday's report said surveys d conducted early this month indicated that farmers were planting 60.1 million acres of corn, down 27 percent from 1982. All but 7.6 million acres are expected to be harvested for grain, the report said. Most of the rest will be used for forage. In many areas, the report said, planting of the 1983 corn crop "got off to a slow start ... due to the wet fields and frequent rains." By the first of the month, 83 percent of the crop had been planted in the nation's major states, compared to the average of 88 percent, the report said. corn-produci- .

Clogging has allowed Burton and Becky to spend much of their summer traveling, but they manage to perform almost every week at a 3,000-setheatre at Maggie Mountain. The small town, which has "about 200 people that vote and a five-lan- e highway," Burton says, is far different from Provo. The two like the people in Provo, "but you don't have any trees," laments Burton. Burton and Becky will participate with hundreds of other doggers tonight and Friday at 8 p.m. at Timpview High School. Admission is $3 for adults and $1 for children. Family passes cost $8.

In Wednesday's analysis, the board estimated farmers would harvest 62.1 million acres in soybeans this year, down from 70.8 million in 1982. Soybeans are not included directly in the payment-in-kin- d program, but some provisions of the crop reduction effort also discouraged the heavy planting of beans.
