Abstract: [fre] La vulgarisation est étudiée, pour chaque grande période de l'histoire de la France, à parti r de la création, en 1 879, des professeurs départementaux d'agriculture. Leur rôle a été notable dans la fondation des organisations agricoles à but économique (syndicats, mutuelles, coopératives). Après 1919, des moyens accrus leur sont donnés avec les offices agricoles départementaux dissous en 1 935. Dans la période dynamique d'après 1 945, les initiatives se multiplient, les méthodes de groupe font leur apparition. Mais des rivalités se développent entre tenants des diverses méthodes et organismes cherchant à accroître leur pouvoir. Laminés dans la réorganisation des Services du Ministère de l'Agriculture, les services agricoles devront accepter le transfert des pouvoirs à la profession agricole. [eng] Agricultural advisory work is studied for each major period of French history starting in 1879 when a post of teacher of agriculture was created in each «département». These played an important part in the creation of farmer's organizations (unions, mutual insurance, cooperatives). After 1919, the creation of farm development boards in each department provided the extension services with increased means. The boards were, however, disbanded in 1935. In the dynamic period after 1945, numerous activities developed often based on group methods of extension. There were conflicts between proponents of various methods and much competition for power to control the extension machinery. The official extension officers were however side tracked in a reorganization of the ministry of Agriculture and had to accept that control of extension activities be handed over to the farm organizations.
