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.
1 On the first day, water until the ground canât soak in any more. 2  Then water every day for about the next week. 3  Water in the morning to reduce the risk of fungal diseases. 4  Wait and See: At this point, thereâs nothing you can do except wait and see if your lawn will recover from fertilizer burn. Different fertilizers come in different strengths, and itâs important not to over apply them to your lawn. 2  Reduce Lawn Stress: If the grass in your lawn is in poor condition, fertilize it very lightly to ease it back to health. 3  Resist the urge to feed heavily, since weak grass is easily burned by chemical fertilizers.
