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.
The charred surface probably hides lots of healthy bermudagrass roots. As any flower gardener knows, where there are bermudagrass roots, there is bermudagrass. In rural areas, home and pasture owners regularly âburn offâ their bermudagrass. The practice releases nutrients and makes the grass green up faster. Burning is illegal in the suburbs. You and your neighbors will just have to look at a black lawn for a couple of months. One good note: the lawn will turn green rapidly this spring. When that occurs, you can laugh and forget it ever happened! Raleigh Looks to Ban Lawn Burning
