1 le farmed in the valley for more than 38 years until retiring recently. The 62-year-old Alesso sold 6-10 acres for about $3,000 an acre in late 1988, land he said he bought for about $155 an acre in the mid- 1950s. Unlike the others, though, Alcsso's buyer plans to use the land to test the application of sewage sludge as a farm fertilizer. For all the grumbling by farmers and complaints about urbanization changing the valley, though, no measures to conserve the area's farmland are being discussed or proposed. Mork, the county agriculture inspector who came to the Antelope Valley in 1976, recalled farmers' reactions when county planners about that time suggested limiting the conversion of farmland.

"We'd be in favor of it, and the growers would be against it," Mork said. "They didn't want to be preserved," Mork said, referring to the farmers. "They figured they're going to farm here as long as it's profitable and, when it's not, adios." Continued from BM speculation in the 1960s and '70s spurred by the city of Angeles' still-delayed plans to build a major airport in Palmdale. Lincoln, for example, last year paid about $5.2 million, or $12,000 an acre, to acquire a 400-nct'C farm at the eastern edge of Lancaster that had been cultivated for decades. Although the land continues to be farmed, Lincoln hopes to build a nearly community there.

Likewise, a company owned by the family of the late Walt Disney, North Hollywood-based Retlaw Enterprises, was close to selling its 580-acre Antelope Valley farm before the deal failed late last week, officials said. The reported price was close to $10 million, or about $16,000 an acre. Such prices are enough to turn the head of even the most committed farmer. "When I moved out here, 1 intended to farm until I died and my kids took over for me. But my kids figured there's got to be an easier way to make a living," said John Alesso, president of the Los TECHNICAL ADVICE, DESIGN LAYOUT YOU DO PART, WE DO THE REST COMPLETE SHEET METAL SHOP SERVICE ALL MAJOR BRANDS COMM LEASING AVAILABLE 100 FINANCING O.A.C.

Bail ranged from $1,000 to $2,500, sheriff's officials said. As they were arrested, some people protested that they had been entrapped by the officers.

Under IBARS, police officers use converted buses to test and hold drunk driving suspects until they can be released, as Hills put it, "to a sober relative." Under normal procedures, drunk driving suspects are jailed. The system streamlines the booking procedure and enables officers to spend more time on patrol, Hills said. Suspects who had outstanding arrest warrants were jailed, Hills said.
