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.
Forestry officials say its OK to burn in early spring, but encourage residents to get it done before the snow is gone; fire season comes when the dry grass is exposed. * The wood in the fire must be dry and free from dirt for efficient burning and to minimize smoke production. * Attend the fire until it is out. Do not expect burn piles to go out on their own and it is illegal to leave a fire burning. * Snow pack qualifies as a firebreak, but you must clear the ground around the fire to dirt as the snow melts. * Call in to the notification phone number listed on your permit before you burn. * Burning permits are required by the Division of Forestry from April through August and all year long for the cities of Kenai, Homer, and Seward.
