- THIS WEEK'S COVER
- Artist Mead Schaeffer contributes another to our series of regional covers—a sort of geographical American family album—with a scene he sketched southeast of New Orleans, in the bayou country. Near Lafitte, Louisiana, he watched a harvest distinctive to the South. Moss pickers were hauling down boatloads of the beautiful Spanish moss which festoons trees in the South; it looked a little like taking down the Christmas decorations or stripping a ballroom the morning after a party. The moss is dried and used in upholstering. "It's an air plant belonging to the pineapple family," Schaeffer said learnedly. Trying to tell us that the stuff is well worth picking, the Vermont artist put it this way: "It's the same as maple sugaring in Vermont."
