setting a variable for a mode

  I would like to set the fill column when text mode loads.  In my
custom-set-variables I already have 

    '(text-mode-hook (quote (turn-on-auto-fill text-mode-hook-identify)))

I was wondering what I need to add to this to get it to set fill-column to 78.
I have playing with it and I can't quite seem to get it worked out.

Note that `fill-column' is buffer-local by default.

Thank you very much. I wouldn't have figured that out.
