    • 1954, Joost Hudig, “Malsano kaj sano de la grundo”, in Gerrit François Makkink, transl., Scienca Revuo:
      Oni memoru la ekkultivadon de la Groningaj altaj marĉoj, kiuj, sekve de saĝa regularo el 1622, sisteme estis fortordigataj, postlasante grundon absolute malriĉan, kiu estis fekundigata per la urba forĵetaĵo.
      One should remember the cultivation of the Groningen high marshes, which, following a wise regulation of 1622, were systematically removed, leaving behind an absolutely poor soil, which was fertilized by the municipal waste.
