This is right out of the INFO facility of emacs under the menu items
"emacs, init, examples" (this puts you three levels down):

   * Turn on Auto Fill mode automatically in Text mode and related modes.
     
          (setq text-mode-hook
            '(lambda () (auto-fill-mode 1)))


Just add the above lines (less comment line) and this should work for you.
By the way, do you know about the INFO facility ( \C-h i )?  Lots of people
would just say RTFM, but lots of times, people need to have a pointer to 
the fact that there is a manual at all (and the INFO facility is a really
great one).

Hope this helps you out.
