More immigrantsâ11.7 millionâcame to the United States between 1871 and 1901 than had arrived in the United States and the British North American colonies during the preceding three centuries combined. (The U.S. population was 76.2 million in 1900.) Between 1900 and 1914, 12.9 million new immigrants arrived. These turn-of-the-century immigrants came primarily from Southern and Eastern Europe, and were largely Italians, Jews, and Poles.
A burned or scorched lawn is grass that has become brown or withered, but it can be treated. 1  Consistently water your lawn. Sounds simple enough but most often, a lawn goes bad due to simple missteps such as not watering your lawn. 2  Don't overuse fertilizer of pesticides.

It sounds like a good idea, but Iâve never heard or seen anyone else do this. He used to be a fireman and knows how to do a controlled burn so I think he can handle the fire part. Iâm just worried the grass wonât come back. Does this sound like a good idea? Any thoughts? George777 â posted 23 March 2002 08:05.

I recommend burning it in sections by âdrawingâ a box around the burn area with a stream of water. Then, I light the area and it burns up to the perimeters that I wet.
