It's pretty dry down here in Arizona.
Ever since we've moved here,
rungs have been popping out of the sockets
in my kitchen chairs.

I use ELMERS woodworking glue,
and clamp the pieces when done....

Still... another one pops out every month.

Is there a better glue I should be using ?

The ones you've glued are popping out?

They probably don't fit very well when you reassemble them. I would use
epoxy.
They make a material that is supposed to permanently swell the wood, but I
haven't tried it.

I've always had good luck using Gorrilla Glue on those joints.

Just keep wiping off any excess that oozes out while it's curing. Easier
to do that when it's wet than having to carve it off when dry.

If the ones you are reapiring are the ones that are popping out, then
you may not be getting glue to wood contact. This can occur for 2
reasons:

1 - Either there is a lot of glue left on the rung and/or in the hole
(wood glue won't adhere very well to old glue) or
2 - The rung has shrunk so much that it isn't making good contact with
the other surface. Elmer's woodworker is not made to fill gaps.

Try this:

1 - Sand both the dowel end of the rung and the inside of the hole
down to bare wood.
2 - Use a thin kerf saw and cut a groove in the dowel end of the rung.
3 - Insert a shim in the groove to expand the dowel end enough to get
a snug fit.
4 - Apply glue, reassemble and clamp lightly.

Or, you could use a gap filling glue or epoxy.
